Specific Rules for Language (required) for Journal Articles Vancouver Style: Articles appearing in more than one language

If an article is written in English and another language(s):

– Give the English language version of the article title.

– List all languages of publication, separated by commas, after the location (pagination).

– Capitalize the language names.

– End the list of languages with a period.

Example:

Palmese S, Pezza M, De Robertis E. Hypophosphatemia and metabolic acidosis. Minerva Anestesiol. 2005 May;71(5):237-42. English, Italian.

If an article is written in more than one language and none of them is English:

– Translate into English the version of the title that appears first.

– Place the translation in square brackets.

– Indicate all languages of publication, separated by commas, after the location (pagination).

– Capitalize the language names.

– End the list of languages with a period.

Example:

Shaha M, Rabenschlag F, Holzer R. [Lowering stress levels in the workplace]. Krankenpfl Soins Infirm. 2005;98(4):10-3, 40-3, 62-5. French, German, Italian.

– Precede the translation with the first original language or romanized title when possible.

As an option, when an article title is written in two or more equal languages as often occurs in Canadian publications:

– Give all titles in the order in which they are presented in the text.

– Separate them with an equals sign surrounded by a space.

– List all the languages, separated by commas, after the location (pagination).

– Capitalize the language names.

– End the list of languages with a period.
