m-Bib.tex: Support for i18n texts

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

looking at http://www.elvenkind.com/~taco/bibmod/ I found out that only
the \completepublication uses the headtext feature of ConTeXt
(\setupheadtext[en][pubs=References]). But in bibl-apa.tex the following
strings are uses:
- and
- pages
- p.
- number
- volume
- edition
- editor
- in
- of

Taco, do you plan to add \v!and and \headtext{and} and so on to
bibl-apa.tex?

Tobias

By the way: For "pubs" one can find more strings in LaTeX's Babel:

Eventually, yes, in some way or another.

I'm not quite sure how to approach the problem correctly,
because there are two styles for the language used in these wordlets.
Assume you reference a german book in an english article. Then in one
school, you would use 'und' since you refer to a german book, and in
the other school you use 'and' since you write in english.

Another problem is that the wordlets themselves do not depend only
on the language used but also on the referencing style. In some styles,
'&' is used instead of 'and'; 'eds.' instead of 'editors'; etc.

The only place where these problems do not occur is in the
title for the list, which is why I did include '\setupheadtext[][pubs=]'.

One solution to that is to add an language and switch to that language as 
labellanguage when set.

Hi all,

It's not that it is hard to implement this, the problem is that
the syntax of the bibl- files soon will become too complex. As it is, 
it is fairly simple to create your own bibl-XXX.tex file. 

The more options are in it, the harder it becomes to make changes/write 
your own.
