    SO CONFUSED. Referencing help please!!
    Hi,
    Please please help me! I'm referencing old french in an essay which is written in English.

    The quote is: "Benoit soient tuit li apaiseur"
    The modern French translation is: "Benis soient tous les pacificateurs"
    The English is "blessed are the peacemakers"

    Do I:
    a) Quote the old french only
    b) Quote the old french and put the new french in brackets
    c) Quote the old french and put the english in brackets
    d) Quote the old french and put the new french in the footnote
    e) Something else entirely?

    Cannot find info on this anywhere online

    Thank you!!

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    What's the essay on? Maybe quote the old French and then footnote an English translation.
