Specific Rules for Language (required) to Citing Entire Reports Vancouver Style: Reports appearing in more than one language

If a report is written in several languages:

_ Give the title in the first language found on the title page

_ List all languages of publication after the pagination and any report, contract, or grant numbers

_ Separate the languages by a comma and a space

_ End the list of languages with a period

Example:

If a report is presented in two or more equal languages, as often occurs in Canadian publications:

_ Give all titles in the order they are given in the text, with an equals sign between them

_ List all languages after the pagination and any report, contract, or grant numbers

_ Separate the languages by a comma and a space

_ End the list of languages with a period
