How do I reference a source that has been professionally translated and republished into English? (APA)

If you have read a source that was originally published in another language but has been republished in English, reference it as normal following the usual guide for the type of source. Then add the name of the translator in brackets in the format (N. Surname, Trans.) after the title and before the full stop. Also add the original publication date in brackets at the very end of the reference.

If the source has not been translated to English, but you wish to reference it, please see the guidance on referencing a source in another language.
