Title: Formatting Foreign Titles Post by: tactical_nuke on November 09, 2014, 04:31:49 PM Just a quick question: Should we be putting foreign words like 'La' or 'El' at the end of a title like 'The'. I haven't seen any written like that despite it being pretty easy to do.

Title: Re: Formatting Foreign Titles Post by: techwizard on November 09, 2014, 06:57:03 PM if it's as common as "The" then i would say they should, otherwise you're going to have thousands of titles listed under E or L

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_catalog#Sorting Quote Some languages know sorting conventions that differ from the language of the catalog. For example, some Dutch catalogs sort IJ as Y. Should an English catalog follow this suit?

Shouldn't the romanized version be the main one and the kanji the alternative? Want to ask before I switch them on any entries.
