Convert Chinese name to Pinyin in citation key.

[earthmoon]

Hello,
When the authors' names are Chinese characters, the Better Bibtex would not insert Chinese characters in the citation keys, whereas in the citation key setting they should contain the author's name.
One of these solutions is in the Better Bibtex setting in Zotero, choose Ideographs in citekeys under the Citation keys tab. This way is good for the Japanese, but not good for the Chinese, as it will convert Chinese characters to Japanese ideographs. So, I hope Better Bibtex will develop a function for converting Chinese characters to Pinyin in the citation keys, as Chinese always understand Pinyin.
Thanks.

To be sure I'd need a debug log, but I think auth.fold(chinese).lower + year will work.

My bad. Turning on Force will always transliterate, not remove, so I'm not sure how you got 20191 earlier. For NRPWIZMR-refs-apse I get WeiXiao2016 when I turn Force on with auth.lower + year. The lower doesn't do anything because auth keeps the chinese names, and lower-casing isn't really meaningful I think? With auth.fold(chinese).lower + year I get weixiao2016. It'd be easy to add a pinyin filter so that you could do auth.pinyin.lower + year.

I am so sorry I can't reproduce the problem to show that bug. Now the auth.fold(chinese).lower + year will convert Chinese characters to Pinyin. So, what's the difference between auth.fold(chinese).lower + year and auth.pinyin.lower?
Thanks.

No difference, pinyin is an alias for fold(chinese). I've added it for the upcoming release, it won't work today.

I am looking forward to use it in the future.
