How do I cite a translator as making an interpretative assumption? If I write
citetaylor, the name of the original author will appear, but I want the
name of the translator.

    Can you create a second bib entry, this time with the name of the translator in the author field?

  • @Mico, I could, but that seems inelegant; I would rather write the name manually and use nocite. Or maybe not, I'll think about it.

  • You may want to provide a bit more information about what's going on, including why you wish to cite the translator in addition to -- or maybe even instead of? -- the original author. For instance, has the translator provided some thoughts or claims which you wish to cite, and are these thoughts separate from and/or in addition to any thoughts and claims expressed by the author of the original work? If so, the translator's contributions are an original piece in their own right, and it's entirely OK (and, in fact, proper!) to cite the translator's separately from the (original) author's work.

    +1. Readers might find it a tad unusual to see the book entitled Physics be associated with a specific pair of English-language translators rather than with the piece's author (Aristotle). If it's really necessary to cite Mssrs. Wicksteed and Cornford, it surely must be because of some pertinent thoughts they expressed in, say, the "Translators' Preface" to Physics or in some footnote in which they expounded on some particular challenge to translating an expression from classical Greek to modern English. Using the @incollection entry type for their work might be the way to go here.
