I can also add that in the first case with the author name Träger, the generated bbl-file looks messed up and (Notepad++ doesn't recognize the encoding as UTF8. Changing the encoding to UTF8 manually shows the complete names Träger correctly, but the abbreviations (what should have been Trä06)

I think I'll go for the piping option then, which seems to be the easiest way out. Thanks for the insights, I didn't actually know much about the interplay of context and bibtex until this little problem occured to me... Julian 2011/6/4 Pontus Lurcock p...@talvi.net On Sat 04 Jun 2011,
