I'm having a minor reference problem. Im using LyX 2.1.0 on Mac and Jabref 2.9.

My problem is that when I'm making a reference to an article/book, etc. that have exactly two authors it says "and" between the authors, for example (Petersen, C. and Plenborg, T.).

Right now, I'm writing a seminar that has to be in my native language (danish) and therefore, I need to replace the "and" with "og". How can I do that? I have tried to change the language-settings in both LyX and Jabref to danish, but it doesn't work. Jabref is set to the ISO8859_1 encoding - I don't now if it has something to do with that?

Any help is appreciated.

    JabRef itself and the character encoding used there doesn't really have anything to do with the matter. Are the authors separated by and in JabRef? When you say you've changed language in LyX, do you mean under Tools -> Preferences, or Document --> Settings --> Language. The former is irrelevant, the latter may have an effect, but I think it depends on the reference style you've used. – Torbjørn T. Jun 05 '14 at 14:26
  • Sorry for my late reply, been working on my seminar. But: Thats exactly what I mean, Torbjørn. And, as you say, I seperate the authors by "and" in JabRef. Right now im using the "Chicaco" form - I can't see how a change in form should be able to fix my problem..? Btw, when I select "plain", lyx replaces my references with ??.

    What would you suggest me to to? I need to try something! :)

  • Exactly what? Tools --> Preferences, or Document --> Settings? – Torbjørn T. Jun 05 '14 at 22:28
  • Yes - Tools --> Preferences, or Document --> Settings. – Lars_CPH Jun 06 '14 at 05:09
  • @Lars_CPH Hi Lars, consider using "@" followed by "Torbjørn T." for comments you want him to see (it gives him a notification). I think he's more responsible than I and will check back anyway, but often I forget which pending conversations I have and if I'm not notified I might forget to check back. – scottkosty Jun 06 '14 at 06:06
  • Oh, you tried both. ('Yes' is a somewhat confusing answer when asking 'either .. or ..'.) You have at least two options I think: 1) modifying an existing style (http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/18042/586) or switching 2) to biblatex (http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/148410/586). biblatex has 'internationalised' those strings, so if you set the language to Danish in Document --> Settings --> Language when using biblatex, the translation should be automatic. (@scottkosty In general you're correct, but when only the OP and I have commented, I'm notified anyway.) – Torbjørn T. Jun 06 '14 at 06:45
  • If you're unable to make it work I can write up a more detailed answer later. – Torbjørn T. Jun 06 '14 at 06:52
  • @TorbjørnT. oh shoot. That means my comment messed everything up! Well, at least I learned something :) – scottkosty Jun 06 '14 at 07:52
  • @TorbjørnT.: I think I'll try the biblatex solution :) - anyways, I'll try to fix it tomorrow (or sunday) and let you know if it worked out! – Lars_CPH Jun 06 '14 at 17:31

    @scottkosty: hehe, you are not the only one who learned something from the mistake ;). – Lars_CPH Jun 06 '14 at 17:33
  • @TorbjørnT. Do you want to take any action? – Johannes_B Feb 12 '17 at 09:29
