I'm quite new to biblatex. I'm typesetting a collection that has papers both in English and Russian, and I'm making a single bibliography at the end of the book.  For the bibliography to look pretty, the entries should be 'localized' individually. That is, I want an English book to come out as  Smith and Smith (eds.)   but a Russian one to come out as  Иванов и Иванов (ред.) [not "eds."!]   I have a very vague idea that it can be achieved with a conditional in some macro that'd check the language field of each given entry and select things accordingly. But I've no idea how to approach it --- just browsing biblatex.def lead me nowhere but here. I'm using lualatex for this, just in case.  Thank you for any ideas!

According to biblatex manual (p.24), the hyphenation field in a bib-entry switches language on per-entry basis:     hyphenation field    The language of the bibliography entry. The identifier must be a language name   known to the babel package. This information may be used to switch hyphenation   patterns and localize strings in the bibliography.   This functionality seemed to not work. I just used an example of bib base that comes with biblatex documentation to print the entire bibliography.   \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[german,american]{babel} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage[style=numeric,backend=biber]{biblatex} \addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib} \begin{document} \nocite{*} \printbibliography \end{document}   The bibliography contains few entries in German. However in the printed list of references they are formatted with english strings.     [8] Averroes. Drei Abhandlungen über die Conjunction des separaten Intellects   mit dem Menschen. Von Averroes (Vater und Sohn), aus dem   Arabischen übersetzt von Samuel Ibn Tibbon. Ed. and trans. by J. Hercz.   Berlin: S. Hermann, 1869.   Per-entry language switching is provided by the  bundle of bst style for BibTeX. Looking through biblatex internal code, I've got an impression that biblatex needs major re-implementation in order to provide similar functionality. Or am I wrong?

I need to customize my references in the following style using biblatexs Alpha style having the columns Label, Author, and Title and Other Information.

Let's say I want to cite a Russian text in my own paper which is written in English. Should I:   reference it as is, in the original Cyrillic alphabet, although the readers won't be able even to pronounce it? transliterate the authors' names, while keeping the rest as is? transliterate the names and translate the title of the work, journal name, etc. into English?

My LaTeX document is English but when I cite multiple authors     Teyseyre und Campo   occurs instead of      Teyseyre and Campo   I set \selectlanguage{english} and for every single entry I added language = {english}.   I also tried adding the following which I found in another thread:  \usepackage{babelbib}  \selectbiblanguage{english}  \renewcommand\betweenauthors{and} \providecommand\harvardand{} \renewcommand\harvardand{and}   Tt still displays the German "und".  Can someone help me getting rid of it?

How to correctly display and to separate among the BibLaTeX's author's names?  Code:  @book{atl1,     label     = {SELLS},     author    = {Cristopher TAVARES, Kirk FERTITTA, Brent RECTOR, Chris SELLS},     title     = {ATL Internals},     subtitle  = {Working with ATL 8},     edition   = {2},     publisher = {Addison-Wesley Professional},     date      = {2006-07-15},     pages     = {888}     }   Output:    In this case I'm trying to display this as Cristopher TAVARES, Kirk FERTITTA, Brent RECTOR and Chris SELLS before ATL Internals....  How do I to deal with this, please?  Thanks a lot!

I think I've read all posts concerning this issue and a solution might have been provided but I don't understand it. Here is the full story. I export my bibliography file from Zotero (I tried everything BibTex, BibLaTex, UTF-8 and Western, all possible combinations). I work in Texniccenter editor. I would like to use biblatex (the example is not full, it's a thesis normally, so too long). Here is my code: \documentclass{book} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[french]{babel} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} \addbibresource{bibli} \title{YYY} \author{\textsc{ZZZ}} \date{\today} \begin{document} \maketitle \frontmatter \tableofcontents \chapter{Introduction} \mainmatter \part{State of the art} \chapter{blabla} L'intérêt pour l'activité d'abattage a été étudié à plusieurs reprises en sciences sociales. Toutefois, la condition animale en elle-même y est très peu abordée, sans doute parce que les acteurs de terrain eux-mêmes la considère comme un non-sujet \cite{muller_a_2008}. \printbibliography \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliographie} \end{document}  Here is a part of my bibliography file: @book{muller_a_2008,     address = {Paris; Versailles},     title = {{\'A} l'abattoir: travail et relations professionnelles face au risque sanitaire},     isbn = {978-2-7351-1170-1 978-2-7592-0051-1},     shorttitle = {{\'A} l'abattoir},     language = {French},     publisher = {{\'E}ditions de la Maison des sciences de l'homme ; {\'E}ditions Quae},     author = {Muller, S{\'e}verin},     year = {2008},     note = {OCLC: 262718567} }  Probably the answer is simple, but I am quite new, and yes, I really read a lot of documentation, without finding anything useful. I also tried to change the settings of output profile (use biber instead of bibtex) but it did not work. Problem might come from Zotero? If so how to know where cause my file is super long?...

I've been playing around with biblatex a little and, since I am tired of broken DOIs, URLS and other eprint links, I would like to use a biblatex style which implements a new line for these fields. I started from the standard.bbx file and in the article style, I replaced  \newunit\newblock \usebibmacro{doi+eprint+url}   by  \newline \usebibmacro{doi+eprint+url}   There is something wrong since a dot (.) is added at the beginning of the DOI line in the final bibliography and a new line is added even though the doi field is empty. Is there a way to fix this?  Then, I wanted to go a bit further by having a new line for each of the DOI, URL, EPRINT, then something like:  \newline \usebibmacro{doi} \newline \usebibmacro{url} \newline \usebibmacro{eprint}   by replacing \newbibmacro*{doi+eprint+url} by \newbibmacro*{doi}, \newbibmacro*{eprint} and \newbibmacro*{url} (copy-paste process of the last lines of standard.bbx) and by replacing \usebibmacro{doi+eprint+url} by the lines above but unfortunately, it does not work. I'd be happy to hear from you on this.

I have a bibliography in which a particular author wrote two papers in the same year. Bibtex is sorting them alphabetically by title, but I want them listed chronologically. (So in the example below 'universal grammar' should precede 'English as a formal language'.) What's the appropriate way to flip the order?  MWE:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{natbib} \begin{document}  ... formal semantics in the  Montagovian tradition \citep{montague1970aug,montague1970befl,montague1973ptq}.   \bibliographystyle{harvard} \bibliography{test} \end{document}   This generates the text 'formal semantics in the Montagovian tradition (Montague, 1970b,a, 1973)' whereas I actually want '1970a,b,1973'.  test.bib file for MWE:  @incollection{montague1973ptq,   title={The proper treatment of quantification in ordinary {English}},   author={Montague, Richard},   booktitle={Approaches to natural language},   editor={Hintikka, K.

I've started putting into practice the answer to . Yet I would like to change this so that there are brackets around the citations:   in the superscript in text,     in the superscript in footnote,  in the bibliography.   I've managed to get the first one and the last one working. The second one however, I don't know how to do this.   Note that I mainly write in english and in dutch, so I don't think there is much babel interference.  Also, would there be a way to order the footnotes so that first all ''normal'' \footnote{} are printed and below that all \sfcite{} citational footnotes (per page that is)?

I am writing an article in English, with some pages in Russian.  \documentclass[12pt]{article}  \usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  \usepackage[russian,english]{babel}  \usepackage{newtxmath} \usepackage{newtxtext} \begin{document}  hello \textbf{hello}  \selectlanguage{russian} привет \textbf{привет}  \end{document}   Output:  hello hello привет привет  I am using \selectlanguage{} to switch between languages when needed.  However, I noticed that when I try to use \textbf{} when in Russian language mode, it does not work because of newtxtext, which I am using for math formulas.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?  Thank you.

I am new to biblatex, and I need to create a bibliography with the authors' names with last names followed by pure initials. Using the style=numeric, firstinits and terseinits options along with:  \DeclareNameAlias{author}{last-first}   I come up with a list of names that looks like:     Doe, J, Smith, K, and Doe, W"   How can I remove the commas between the last name and the initial of the first name?

I'm using biblatex authoryear and have multiple entries of the same author that do not have a year.

I am an editor editing a book review, and I'm not sure how to deal with this:    Serhii Bilokin’’s book    The author has chosen to transliterate with the apostrophe at the end of the name, but it looks very odd with the English possessive tacked on at the end. I know that  the the apostrophe in Ukrainian language/names changes the pronunciation of the surrounding letters, but that's about it, so I'm not sure how integral the apostrophe is to the name. (I've seen it transliterated with and without, so I assume there are multiple right ways, but I'd prefer to respect the author's choices.) I'm having a terrible time trying to find precedents to base my decisions on here. I assume the issue is extra-grammatical. Any insight is appreciated! This type of thing fascinates me, but it's also very confusing.

I have a question that has been answered a few times, but does not work for me (and also not for another commenter in a previously asked question).   I want to remove the parenthesis around the yead in the bibliography with biblatex style authoryear, and ideally also add a comma and space before it. I have looked at the following questions:        I use biber 2.10 and TexLive 2017/W32Tex.  This MWE should work according to the question v2 above, but does not work for me, i.e. the output is still Author, Anne (2001a). Alpha. The output I need is Author, Anne, 2001a.
