Translations of Quotations

If a translation is attached to a quote in the original language, this translation is also enclosed with the <quote> element. A possibly author attached to the translation is specified in a <bibl> element. Both parts (<quote> and <bibl>) are enclosed with a <cit> element. (Cf. the information on how to tag quotes with naming the author or without naming the author).

The <quote> element of the translation gets an attribute value pair @type="translation". The <quote> element of the original quote gets an attribute value pair @xml:lang="[ISO 639-3 code]", in which the language is specified. (For the tagging of foreign language material, see chap. Foreign Language Material below.

Both <quote> elements (original quote and its translation) are linked with @xml:id and @corresp. 

<cit>
            <quote xml:lang="[ISO 639-3 code]" xml:id="[ID original quote]" corresp="[ID translation]">[quotation in original language]</quote>
            <bibl>[author of the quote]</bibl>
</cit>
<cit><!-- where applicable -->
<quote type="translation" xml:id="[ID translation]" corresp="[ID original quote]">[quotation in translation]</quote>
<bibl>[author of the quote/translation]</bibl><!-- where applicable -->
</cit>
