I am writing my thesis in french but most of the references I have are in english.

Sometimes, I would like to incorporate a direct quotation into a sentence but since my text is in another language, I usually do a literal translation (because I don't want to change the author's words). In this case, what IEEE's style should I use?

  • Which institution is the thesis being submitted to? what are their formatting / style / referencing standards? – Solar Mike May 26 '19 at 12:19
  • @SolarMike I am not sure that 'thesis' is the right word in my case, maybe 'dissertation' is more appropriate (or maybe it is the same thing, I don't know). I just need to send it to my school and I can use the formatting style that I want. But since I decided to use the IEEE's one I would like to stick with it. – user109229 May 26 '19 at 12:28
