Authors separated by different keyword in bibliography

Post by jtrindade »

I'm having an internationalization problem with latex.

In the .bib files authors are separated by the keyword 'and'.

In the file generated by latex the authors in the citations are also separated by 'and'. As the document I am producing is in Portuguese I needed authors to be separated by the 'e' keyword instead.

I am using babel package in Portuguese but it makes no difference on the citations.

Any lights on how I can do this?

The "and" in the database is "magic": BibTeX uses this to tell where the names are divided. However, the "and" in the output depends on the *.bst file you use. Probably best is biblatex, which has proper international support.

Authors separated by different keyword in bibliography

Thanks for the help.

I am now using biblatex and babel with the portuguese option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[portugues]{babel}
\usepackage[bibstyle=authoryear-comp, citestyle=authoryear-comp, hyperref=true, sorting=nyt, sortcites=true]{biblatex}
And my bib file continues to have 'and' separating authors.

But upon building the .pdf it all remains the same. Authors in the bibliography are separated by the and keyword.

Any lights why?
