APA7 Guide

• Often works are translated multiple times over a long period of time, which can substantially alter the meaning of the text. As a result it is important that you indicate when a work has been translated.
• For in-text citations, the date of the original work is given first, and the date of the translation given second, for example: (Camus, 1942/2012).

For example:

The Outsider begins with the simple statement “my mother died today” (Camus, 1942/2012, p. 3).
