LaTeX forum ⇒ BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ How to replace the "and" between two authors with the "and" in Chinese?

[jjmm]

Hi,

I am typing a Chinese document by latex on Mac, TexStudio. Part of my bibliography are in Chinese. I do not have any problem showing the Chinese texts and bibliography, but have trouble replacing the citation "Smith and Johnson (1998)” with “Smith 與 Johnson (1998)”, where "與", the character between “Smith" and “Johnson” is the “and” in Chinese. In other words, I try to change the “ and “ between the two authors to Chinese.

I understand I need to rewrite the following lines in the .bst file

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

FUNCTION {bst.cite.and}
{ " and " } % (default)

as

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

FUNCTION {bst.cite.and}
%{ " and " } % (default)
{ " 與 " } %

However, when I compile the tex file, it shows "Smith ? Johnson (1998)”. It can’t read the “ and “ in Chinese. I am able to replace the "and" with something else, like "\&" I use XeLaTex. Is there any solution? Thank you very much!!

I am almost sure BibTeX cannot handle this.

Are you open to using the more modern biblatex with biber? It can handle utf8 and different languages easily. -> https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Bib ... _and_biber
