Title of a document or document part that has been translated into a language other than that of the original publication. When a document is published simultaneously in more than one language, one language must be chosen for the title and all other document titles become translated titles.
Best Practice: Within the book and book component metadata, a grouping element (<trans-title-group>) keeps the related <trans-title>s and <trans-subtitle>s together. Best practice is to place the language attribute (@xml:lang) on the container element <trans-title-group> rather than on the <trans-title> or the <trans-subtitle> elements. In bibliographic references — which do not allow <trans-title-group> — the @xml:lang attribute should be included on the <trans-title> element (and the translated subtitle subsumed within this title).
In Citations:
Cited Journals: Within a bibliographic reference (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>), the <trans-title> element contains the title of a cited article, but with the article title given in a different language than used with the <article-title> element. For example, if an article is originally in French, the <article-title> element would contain the French title, and the <trans-title> element might contain, for example, the equivalent English title, both identified with @xml:lang. The journal name or title would be tagged as a <source> and the translated journal title tagged as a <trans-source> element.
Cited Books: Within a bibliographic reference (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>), translated book titles are tagged with the <trans-source> element.
Cited Subtitles: Within bibliographic references (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>), translated subtitles should be tagged as part of the translated title (<trans-title>).
