LyX ⇒ ClassicThesis want to use German Bibliography

[silverstein]

Hello,

currently I am writing my Master Thesis with Lyx 1.6 on Mac OS X SL. I am using BibDesk, too.

I have a question that I have been trying to answer to myself the last few hours:

How can I change my Bibliography to German language?

I already changed everything in the Bibliography.lxy file where it said "language english" to "language german".

But it didn't help.

Also I do not understand how to load a "bibliographystyle" or where to find it at all...

Please help. Thank you very much!

Hm ... maybe you should have taken a look into this whole bibliography thing before starting ...
Anyway, here are two pages that can help you:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX#BibTeX-Stile or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX
So you could use the babel-package with the option "ngerman" and set your document to German, meaning adding "german" as a global option. This usually helps for KOMA-classes. But you didn't mention any document class, so please take a look into the board "rules", especially section 2 please.
This would alos help with some other details you didn't mention.

Hey Enrico,

thanks for your quick response. Now I have read the board rules. Thanks for that link.


What I already now is that I have to change the

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

This is how my complete Bibliography.lxy file looks like

Code: Select all

But I dont know how to load a new bibliographystyle or where I can find it, especially one that suits my need for a German kind of bibliographystyle.
