When adding a title that is in a foreign languge, follow these basic rules regardless of citation style:

For German, capitalize the first word and all nouns.

For French, capitalize THROUGH the first noun in the title.

For Italian and other languages, capitalize just the first word.

(NOTE: Always capitalize all proper nouns.)

For specific details and examples on citing sources within a paper and on creating a References page, mouseover the "APA Style" tab above and choose the appropriate subpage.

When citing a non-English reference work, use the original title followed by the English translation of the title in brackets.
