There are some so called \dat{'German'} styles, but they allow -only German references. I couldn't find any style beeing able to switch -between the language for mixed references. In scientific publications you -will find a lot of English references beside the ones of the country, where -the publication was written. But it looks awful, if you mix an english -reference with german expressions, for example: -\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{.7\textwidth}\raggedright\tt Wilson, -Braunwald, und Isselbacher, Herausgeber. Harrison's Principles of Internal -Medicine. Band 1, twelfth Auf{}lage\ldots\end{minipage}\end{center} -So I tried to write a style being able to switch the language. - -\section[Restrictions of and problems with \bibtex]{Restrictions of and -problems with \bibtex\footnote{Dedicated to Oren Patashnik at Stanford -University. I hope this will find him anytime.}} - -There is a terrific restriction at least in my version of \bibtex: it -allows only ten (10) global variables of type \dat{STRINGS}. Therefore it -was impossible to implement a function which would decide whether to switch -the language and then call a specific function for every country that could -actualize the contents of these string variables. So the only possible way -seemed to be to create a series of \tex\ macros. - -Another problem occured with \bibtex's built in function -\verb|add.period$|. This function adds a point, if the last non '\}' -character is no '.', '!' or '?'. But how to tell \verb|add.period$| that -the \tex\ macros for abbreviations contain a point, although there is not -one obvious for \bibtex? The \tex\ macros have one parameter now: If you -abbreviate editors for example as 'eds.' \verb|add.period$| mustn't set a -point if the corresponding \tex\ macro is set in the output. So {\tt\bsl -btxeditorsshort} is defined as follows:\\[.5ex] -\verb| \def\btxeditorsshort#1{eds#1}|\\[.5ex] -Now you can write {\tt\bsl btxeditorsshort\{.\}} in the \bibtex\ style file -and \verb|add.period$| will find a point if {\tt\bsl btxeditorsshort\{.\}} -is the last expression in the sentence. As you can see this is only -necessary for those expressions that can stand at the end of a sentence or -block. 'And' usually will not stay at the end of a sentence. So you can -define the corresponding macros as pointed abbreviation, if you want to. - -I had to face a last problem with the built in function -\verb|change.case$|. It's similar to the one with \verb|add.period$|. This -function is also unable to expand the defined \tex\ macros. Therefore I had -to define always two forms of macros \verb|\btx...| and \verb|\Btx...| -where the second should be used where something like `The Quick Brown Fox -Jumps Over The Lazy Dog' is to occure and the first for something like `The -quick brown fox\ldots' if the expression starts a sentence or `the quick -brown fox\ldots' if it is used in the middle of a sentence. The {\tt -change.case\$} function will not be called if a title is going to be -formatted and {\tt language} is not set to {\tt 'english'} or {\tt -'USenglish'}. Henceforth you don't have to use '\{\}' braces to avoid {\tt -chang.case\$} in titles of other languages. Thus typing is much easier. -Typing comfort could be also improoved very much if \bibtex\ would -understand umlauts as \tex\ version 3.1 and not only constructions like -\verb|{\"{a}}|. - -All these constructions are tricky and uncomfortable only to bypass or fool -the built in \bibtex\ functions. Things would be much easier if more global -string variables could be defined. Then \bibtex\ could format the content -of the string variables directly and commands like \verb|add.period$| or -\verb|\cange.case$| would work the same way as if the expression would -occure in the text. - -Now you know about the reasons why I had to make a new \latex\ style -\dat{bibgerm.sty} for use with the \dat{ger[...].bst} \bibtex\ styles. It -defines the \tex\ macros mentioned above and listed below. - -\section{Implementation} - -\bibtex\ was changed in the way that it doesn't place string constants, but -\tex\ macros into the output for expressions that vary in the different -languages. So \bibtex\ generates a {\tt\bsl selectlanguage\{...\}} command -just before the current \verb|\bibitem[...]{...}| if the {\tt language} -field in the database entry is not empty. There are only a few allowed -contents for {\tt language}: {\tt 'german'}, {\tt 'austrian'}, {\tt -'english'}, and {\tt 'USenglish'}, because I'm speaking only German and -bad English. {\tt 'english'} does the same as {\tt 'USenglish'} at the -moment. I think there won't be many differences, but I could imagine some -concerning 'Master's thesis' and 'PhD thesis'. {\tt 'austrian'} does nearly -the same as {\tt 'german'}, only the month 'January' is different. - -It should be not so very difficult to implement other languages for someone -who is a little bit acquainted to \tex\ or \latex. You probably needn't -change the \bibtex\ styles, but only to supplement the \dat{bibgerm.sty} -\latex\ style a little bit. - -\subsection{\ifx\undefined\selectfont \else\series{m}\fi\dat{bibgerm.sty}} - -The macro \verb|\selectlanguage{...}| of the original \dat{german.sty} -\cite{partl}switched already things like {\tt 'date'} and {\tt -'captionnames'}. There are now some new global definitions -\verb|\bibsgerman|, \verb|\bibsenglish| and \verb|\bibsUSenglish| being -called by {\tt\bsl selectlanguage\{...\}}. The \verb|\bibs...| macros -redefine the meanings for a list of \tex\ macros according to the current -language: -\settowidth{\mylena}{\tt\bsl def\bsl ...short\#\#1\{...\#\#1\}} -\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{|l|p{.67\textwidth}@{}l|}\hline -\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{General Aspects}\\\hline -\hbox to\mylena{\tex\ macro\hfil} & Meaning &\\\hline -{\tt\bsl def\bsl btx...\{...\}} & \raggedright Expression in lower case -letters for use in the middle of a sentence (e.\ g.\ 'volume').&\\ -{\tt\bsl def\bsl Btx...\{...\}} & \raggedright Expression with the first -letter capitalized for use at the beginning of a sentence (e.\ g.\ -'Volume') or formatted like a booktitle (e.\ g.\ 'Technical Report -037').&\\ -{\tt\bsl def\bsl ...short\#\#1\{...\#\#1\}} & \raggedright Mostly -abbreviated expression.
