Hello. I can't express how grateful I am to Writeacher for the help. Thank you!
I have one more technical question. Is it necessary to translate the names of authors and their works in footnotes/references if I refer to them in an article to be published in an English journal, for example, I refer to Èâàíîâ Ñ. and his work "Êðóøåíèå Ðîññèéñêîé èìïåðèè" (which is only in Russian), do I have to translate it as Ivanov S.The Collapse of the Russian Empire. or do I leave it in the Russian language in footnotes and references.
Thank you for your attention.
You'd need to leave the author's name as it is in his/her original language, but you can do this with the title:
You may include an English translation of a foreign language title in brackets, outside of the quotations that surround the untranslated title.

This will work whether you are using MLA, APA, Turabian, or any other guidelines.
PS -- Be sure you notice the difference between brackets [ and ]
and
parentheses ( and )
Hello! I'm here to help you with your question. When it comes to translating names of authors and their works in footnotes/references, it depends on the specific style guide or editorial guidelines of the English journal you are aiming to publish in. Different journals may have different preferences on this matter.
Here's how you can find out the specific guidelines for your journal:
1. Check the Style Guide: First, you should consult the style guide or editorial guidelines provided by the journal. This guide will typically outline the preferred formatting, referencing style, and language preferences for articles submitted to the journal. Look for any section specifically addressing translations or foreign language references.
2. Search Journal Articles: Another helpful approach is to search for previously published articles in the journal that involve references to non-English authors and works. Analyze how these references are handled in terms of translation and language usage. This will give you a good idea of the journal's preferred approach.
3. Contact the Journal: If you can't find the specific guidelines or you have any doubts, you can always reach out to the editorial office of the journal and ask for clarification. They will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding their requirements.
Remember, following the guidelines of the journal is crucial to ensure your article meets their criteria and has the best chance of being accepted for publication.
