Multilingual bibliographies: The babelbib package ================================================= This package enables to generate multilingual bibliographies in cooperation with babel. Two approaches are possible: Each citation may be written in another language, or the whole bibliography can be typeset in a language chosen by the user. The current version supports Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. In addition, the package supports commands to change the typography of the bibliographies. Many of the standard and extended bibliography styles are available. Please help me to add more languages to babelbib. The file tugboat-babelbib.pdf is a draft of an article that has been published in TUGboat. It contains a detailed documentation of the babelbib package and how to extend it. The source code for this file is not included. This article is about version 0.40 of this package but is up-to-date in most parts.
