+# The `apalike-german` package: an author year style for BibTeX
+
+## Objective
+
+I made `apalike-german.bst` because I was forced to use plain old BibTeX in conjunction with `apalike.bst` but I needed German localization. It is simply a copy of the original file. My editions concern the following:
+
+ - Inserted words were translated to German.
+ - Puryifing of label numbers is removed. Thus, dots in the label year shall not be removed.
+ - Capitalization of title words will remain.
+
+## Installing
+
+Create the directory `{TEXMF}/bibtex/bst/apalike-german`, move `apalike-german.bst` there and update the file name database.
+
+## Usage
+
+First let me point out that if you are not forced to use plain BibTeX it is much better to rely on the `biblatex` package, preferably in conjunction with Biber. Thus, you gain much more flexibility for your references. If you took this into account, call `\bibliographystyle{apalike-german}` as usual after `\begin{document}`.
+
+In case a numerical year lacks you can use an expression like "n.d.":
+
+ @MISC{undated-item,
+ ...
+ year = {o.J.},
+ }
+
+The dots are kept, but only four digits are allowed!
