Cite translated works in the "works cited" or bibliography section according to the examples given below, putting the title of the work in italics:
MLA Format:
Tolstoy, Leo. Anna Karenina. Trans. Rosemary Edmons. New York: Penguin
Books,1954. Print.
APA Format:
Tolstoy, L. (1954). Anna Karenina. (R. Edmons, Trans.). New York, NY: Penguin
Books. (Original work published 1878).
Chicago Format:
Tolstoy, Leo. Anna Karenina. Translated by Rosemary Edmons. New York:
Penguin Books,1954.
Add parenthetical citations when citing a translated work in text in the MLA or APA format. Use the same rules you would use when citing any other work -- use the author's name, not the translators. When using APA style, use both date of translation and date of original publication.
Examples:
MLA Format
Use only the page number when referring to the author in the text. Include the chapter to make information in a novel easier to find:
In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy writes that all happy families are alike (13; ch.1).
Include the author's name in the citation if not referring to him in the text:
Prince Stepan Arkadyevich usually woke up at eight o'clock (Tolstoy 13; ch.1)
APA Format
Include only the year if referring to the author in the text. Remember to include both translation date and date of publication:
In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy writes that all happy families are alike (1878/1954).
Include the author's name if not referring to him in the text:
Prince Stepan Arkadyevich usually woke up at eight o'clock (Tolstoy, 1878/1954).
Write footnotes instead of parenthetical citations when writing in Chicago Style. The first footnote should include publishing information and page number. Place the title of the work in italics:
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, trans. Rosemary Edmons (New York: Penguin, 1954), 13.
When citing the translated work additional times, only include the original author's last name, a short form of the title and the cited page number in the footnote. Use italics to format the title of the work:
Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, 13.
When citing the same work two or more times in a row, you can use "Ibid." for the second and additional footnotes:
Ibid., 174
