+<h3>Non-english bibliographies</h3>
+<p>Like so much of early (La)TeX software, BibTeX's assumptions were
+firmly rooted in what its author knew well, viz., academic papers in
+English (particularly those with a mathematical bent).  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>
