So, »editor« becomes »Herausgeber« in German, for instance, ›pp.‹ becomes ›S.‹ and so forth. I’m not sure what you mean by ›bibliographical style variants based on the language‹; surely, the bibliography should be as consistent as possible? — Gerrit. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
