Non-Latin alphabets are not used in the reference list in APA Style, so the title needs to be transliterated (that is, converted to the alphabet you are using to write a paper), and then followed by an English translation, in brackets."

Hi Ian,
in that case, APA should not be used in linguistics publications. One 
more reason to prefer the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics.

I attach a screenshot of some references from Alexis Michaud's book on 
Yongning Na. It takes some dedication to get this right, but from a 
technical point of view, publishers should be able to deal with this.

Best wishes
Sebastian
