BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Including automatic references in another language

[marie2011]

Dear forum members,

I have just opened a new thread since in my last one I had included too many new documents. I hope it is OK so.

I have a question concerning the layout of the bibliography. I know it is possible to make some changes so that these changes appear automatically the next time I compile the document. The problem is that I do not know where to make the changes.

For example in the attached document (sorry I do not know how to make the document smaller) I should have de following:

En instead of In
Ed. intead of editor
páginas instead of pages (not in bold, I just did it here to make it clearer).

Attached you will find a minimal example so that you can see what I mean.

Many, many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Marie

When posting a minimal working example you should run it yourself to see if it really works. In this case the example misses the packages caption and ifpdf to run (although neither they nor the commands that need them are necessary for the task at hand).

What's more important: miapalike is not a standard bibliography style so non of us can really test your example file.

BTW: is there a specific reason why you don't post the code directly to the forum (using the code button)?

Hi Clemens and all,

That is right. In my apalike.bst is where I have to make the changes.The fact is that I had forgotten that. Attached you will find the code.

BTW: is there a specific reason why you don't post the code directly to the forum (using the code button)?

If I understood it right, I should post the minimal example here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[

I have the following code in mybibliography:

}

  booktitle = 	 {{El aprendizaje aut{\'o}nomo de lenguas en t{\'a}ndem{.} Principios{,} estrategias y experiencias de integraci{\'o}n}},

  address = 	 {Oviedo, Ediciones de la Universidad de Oviedo},
  OPTedition = 	 {},
  OPTmonth = 	 {},
  OPTnote = 	 {},
  OPTannote = 	 {}
}

The apalike.bst document is too large. That is why I am enclosing it.

Many thanks in advance.

If I understood it right, I should post the minimal example here:

You don't have to but I indeed find it much more comfortable!

Since you already have a customized bst file you can customize the relevant parts for the language settings there as well. For example look for this function

Code: Select all

FUNCTION {format.pages}
{ pages empty$
    { "" }
    { pages multi.page.check
        { "pages" pages n.dashify tie.or.space.connect }
        { "page" pages tie.or.space.connect }
      if$
    }
  if$
}

and change the strings "pages" and "page" to your needs. You can do likewise for the other strings. I'm not sure this is the best way to procede as I'm not working with BiBTeX much but it's at least a possible solution.

Hi Clemens,

Many thanks for your answer. I have been able to make the changes I needed. From now on I will directly include the code in the message.

Best regards,

Marie
