BibLaTeX, APA and French: still american date display
Astor
I'm having an issue with using BibLaTeX and the APA bibliographic format in French, and I can't find the necessary information to fix it: when I insert a reference to a website (@online) in the bibliography, the access date is ordered month day, year (as in English), whereas in French it should be day month year.
I have configured the French language with polyglossia (but I've also tried with babel), and I've done the mapping for french-apa.
Here is a bibliographic reference I'm using:
@online{enssib_index_,
title = {Index thématique | Enssib},
author = {{Enssib}},
url = {https://www.enssib.fr/bibliotheque-numerique/index-thematique},
urldate = {2024-11-15},
langid = {french},
organization = {Enssib | École nationale supérieure des sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques},
file = {/home/bjacquemin/Zotero/storage/MWA7IL6G/index-thematique.html}
}
And here is my MWE:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{french}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[%
backend=biber,
style=apa,
natbib=true,
sorting=nyt,
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{essai.bib}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{french}{french-apa}
\begin{document}
\cite{enssib_index_}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
sciences de l’information et des bibliothèques. Récupérée novembre 15,

thematique
Does anyone have an idea of what's not working? Any help would be appreciated!

Dear Peter,
Thank you for your response and the suggestion of the datetime2 package. I can see how this package allows for the formatting of time-related information according to the language and regional norms.
However, I'm unsure of how I should use datetime2 to impact the display of the bibliography. In the following MWE, there is no effect on the display of the bibliographic reference, even though the datetime2 documentation (and using the \Today command in the MWE) suggests it should work:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{biblio.bib}
@online{enssib_index_,
title = {Index thématique | Enssib},
author = {{Enssib}},
url = {https://www.enssib.fr/bibliotheque-numerique/index-thematique},
urldate = {2024-11-15},
langid = {french},
organization = {Enssib | École nationale supérieure des sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{french}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[useregional]{datetime2}
\usepackage[%
backend=biber,
style=apa,
natbib=true,
sorting=nyt,
]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{french}{french-apa}
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}
\begin{document}
\Today{} \cite{enssib_index_}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
The display of the bibliographic reference remains the same (with novembre in French still):
Enssib. (s. d.). Index thématique | Enssib. Enssib | École nationale supérieure des sciences de l’information et des bibliothèques. Récupérée novembre 15, 2024, à partir de https://www.enssib.fr/bibliotheque-numerique/index-thematique
It seems there is something beyond my LaTeX skills that I need to do.
Thank you again.
