Hi Betsy,

I'm afraid I don't know the BANA rules in his regard, but
generally speaking in the UK one does not contract foreign
names in an English document.

Aloha listers
I am translating a document that has both English and
Spanish titles of brochures. One of the authors last names
is Lawrence and another is Gutierez. It seems logical that
the first one could be either a Spanish or English last
name, but the second one seems to be Spanish. Here's the
question:

When these authors names are listed after the English title
of the brochure, I assume that I translate them as I would
normally. But when they are listed after the Spanish title,
do I leave them uncontracted and apply the Spanish
translation code?
Thanks for any info you can offer.
Betsy
