BibTeX’s -standard styles all address exactly that problem, leaving the user who -writes in another language (or who deal with citations in the style of -other disciplines than maths) to strike out into contributed software. -<p/>For the user whose language is not English, there are several -alternatives. The simplest is to provide translations of BibTeX -styles into the required language: the solitary <i>finplain.bst</i> -does that for Finnish; others one can find are for Danish -(<i>dk-bib</i>), French (<i>bib-fr</i>), German -(<i>bibgerm</i>), Norwegian (<i>norbib</i>) and Swedish -(<i>swebib</i>) bundles (of which the <i>bib-fr</i> set is the -most extensive). The <i>spain</i> style implements a traditional -Spanish citation style. -<p/>These static approaches solve the problem, for the languages that have -been covered by them. Unfortunately, with such an approach, a lot of -work is needed for every language involved. Two routes to a solution -of the “general” problem are available — that offered by -<i>babelbib</i>, and the -<a href="FAQ-custbib.html"><i>custom-bib</i> mechanism for generating styles</a>. -<p/><i>Babelbib</i> (which is a development of the ideas of the -<i>bibgerm</i> package) co-operates with <i>babel</i> to control -the language of presentation of citations (potentially at the level of -individual items). The package has a built-in set of languages it -‘knows about’, but the documentation includes instructions on defining -commands for other languages. <i>Babelbib</i> comes with its own -set of bibliography styles, which could be a restriction if there -wasn’t also a link from <i>custom-bib</i>. -<p/>The <i>makebst</i> menu of <i>custom-bib</i> allows you to -choose a language for the BibTeX style you’re generating (there are -14 languages to choose; it looks as if <i>spain.bst</i>, mentioned -above, was generated this way). If, however, you opt not to specify a -language, you are asked whether you want the style to interact with -<i>babelbib</i>; if you do so, you’re getting the best of both -worlds — formatting freedom from <i>custom-bib</i> and linguistic -freedom via the extensibility of <i>babelbib</i> -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>babelbib.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>bib-fr bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/bib-fr.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/bib-fr</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/bib-fr.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/bib-fr/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>bibgerm bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/germbib.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/germbib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/germbib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/germbib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>custom-bib bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib.zip">macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/custom-bib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>finplain.bst</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/misc/finplain.bst">biblio/bibtex/contrib/misc/finplain.bst</a> -<dt><tt><i>norbib bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/norbib.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/norbib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/norbib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/norbib/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>spain</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/spain.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/spain</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/spain.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/spain/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>swebib bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/swebib.zip">biblio/bibtex/contrib/swebib</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/swebib.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/swebib/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=i18nbib">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=i18nbib</a> -</body> |
