Thank you, the switch from natbib to biblatex is (almost) painless !

I found how to remove URL fields and DOI fields from the bibliography 
(url=false,doi=false), but I'm still annoyed by the language field (I get 
"eng.", "ENG." or "English" between the titles and the journals, which is 
useless for me) and by the "in:" before the journal in which the article was 
published. Any idea on how to remove those ?
