Citations in small caps using Biblatex in french (APA style)

Question

I have a small issue while using Biblatex with the APA style in French. My in-text citations are in small caps and I would like to have them written normally. This issue doesn't happen when I write in English.

Can someone help me?

Here is a small example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{french}{french-apa}
\DeclareCaseLangs{french}
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}
\begin{document}

Cette référence: \textcite{Kline2016} s'affiche en majuscules.

\end{document}

This will produce "Cette référence: KLINE (2016) s'affiche en majuscules" and I would like to have "Cette référence: Kline (2016) s'affiche en majuscules".

Thanks!

\DefineBibliographyExtras{french}{\restorecommand\mkbibnamefamily} (or with older versions \DefineBibliographyExtras{french}{\restorecommand\mkbibnamelast}) — moewe, May 29 '16 at 14:57

@moewe: Not sure if I understand well what you suggestion does, but doesn't it affect also the names in the references section? — Bernard, May 29 '16 at 18:48
@Bernard Yes that is true. I didn't think the OP would want to change the behaviour in citations only. In that case \AtEveryCite{\restorecommand\mkbibnamefamily} would be more appropriate. — moewe, May 30 '16 at 06:16
Do you want to get rid of small caps in citations only, or do you want them gone in the bibliography as well? — moewe, May 30 '16 at 06:17
@moewe, the bibliography was fine so no need to change it. I just tested your solution and it worked. Thank you so much. — Thomas, May 31 '16 at 07:10
I assume you meant my second solution? I have written up an answer with it. If you mean my first comment, please get back to me, I will edit my answer accordingly. — moewe, May 31 '16 at 07:45

If you want to change the style only for in-text citations use

\AtEveryCite{\restorecommand\mkbibnamefamily}
