204. The language of the compiler’s part of an English catalogue should
be English.
Therefore all notes, explanations, and such words as _in, see, see
also, note, contents, and_ (between joint authors), _and others, n.
p., n. d._, should be English; however, _etc., q. v._, and _sic_ may
be used.
For the language of HEADINGS, see §§ 27–36. In the entry of Government
publications the name of the country or city will have the English
form (§§ 33, 34), but the name of the department should usually be in
the language of the country, _e. g._:
«Italy.» _Ministero di Agricoltura._
But for countries like Russia, Turkey, Japan, where the vernacular
name could not easily be ascertained, an English form may be used.
For titles see §§ 165–169, 175; put the specifications of the EDITION
in the language of the title, also the IMPRINT (§ 179), CONTENTS,
NOTES, and REFERENCES.
