Languages in APA: Citing a source you read in a different language
Last Updated: Jul 25, 2019 Views: 161

To cite a text that you read in a language other than English, include the original title, followed by the English translation of the title in brackets. You should also use translated titles for papers written in non-Latin scripts, such as Chinese.

Example:

Piaget, J. (1966). La psychologie de l’enfant [The psychology of the child]. Paris, France: Presses Universitaires de France.
