If you're citing a work that is in another language, include the English translation of the title in square brackets after the title. Remember to follow the citation template for the type of source that you're using.
Example Landry, A. (2022, August 18). Les risques de s’autodiagnostiquer un trouble de santé mentale avec les réseaux sociaux [The risks of self-diagnosing a mental health disorder with social media].

| In-Text Citation |
If you've translated a quote from the work yourself or by using an app (e.g., Google Translate) or AI tool (e.g., Microsoft Copilot), treat the translation as a paraphrase instead of a direct quote. In your paragraphs, include the translation followed by an in-text citation that includes the author's last name, year of publication, and page/paragraph number of the translated section. For AI-generated translations, it would also be a good idea to acknowledge somewhere in your assignment that you used AI. For more information, see Citation Examples: Artificial Intelligence.
Example This is my translation of a quote from an article that's written in another language (Landry, 2022, para. 3). |
