Problem with apacite: getting 'et' instead of 'and'

Post by pstarsjonk »

I'm writing a document using apa.cls which automatically uses apacite. This works fine for me for most cases, except when using \citeA or \fullciteA, where instead of compiling to, say, 'Smith and Jones (2010),' I see 'Smith et Jones (2010).' Note that the reference inside the bibliography itself looks fine.

Specifically, this is my code:

\documentclass[man]{apa}

\begin{document}
\citeA{Ophir2009} were cited at the beginning of this sentence.

\bibliography{TestReference}
\end{document}

And this is what I see:
Ophir, Nass, et Wagner (2009) were cited at the beginning of this sentence.

Problem with apacite: getting 'et' instead of 'and'

Post by pstarsjonk »

I did figure out a workaround, and I do think the problem is with apa.cls instead of apacite (sorry about that). Anyway, in case anybody else has this problem, and I still have no idea why I did (I'm in America and do not speak French or anything like that), the workaround is:

\documentclass[man,babel,english]{apa}

\begin{document}

\citeA{Ophir2009} were cited at the beginning of this sentence.


\bibliography{TestReferences}

\end{document}
