Citation Keys Convert to Pinyin Despite "Force Citation Key to Plain Text" Being Disabled

What happened?

I'm using Better BibTeX to export .bib files, with my citation key formula set as "auth.lower + year + shorttitle(1,1)". However, despite having both "Force citation key to plain text" and "Ideographs in citekeys" options disabled, the shorttitle part of the citation keys consistently gets pinyinized.

I've updated the docs; it's a side effect from adding the 2nd parameter in shorttitle(1,1) -- the 2nd one says "capitalize the first word", and since capitalization isn't really meaningful (to my very limited knowledge) for CJK, BBT assumes you want it romanized first. It's mostly a leftover from when I copied the JabRef formatters -- I wouldn't add capitalization now to a function when a filter can do the job and give you more options.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I changed the second parameter from 1 to 0, and it resolved the issue.

You can just omit it, the default is 0

Understood, thank you once more!
