I attached a patch against the SVN version.

Correct translation would be 'Verlag'. Publisher is also used in games collections. Probably the old translation would be better since publisher is as far as I know restricted to books, newspapers, ... I added content information to allow different translations but used everywhere the same translation as Publisher except in German. > > 'Organization' is translated as 'Unternehmen', but might be better > > translated simply as 'Organisation'. > > Not as serious as the others, but > > 'journal' should be better translated as 'Zeitschrift' rather than > > 'Zeitung'. I agree for scientific publications. Since this string was also used in book collections, "Magazine" vs. "Journal", I just swapped the old translations to "Zeitung" vs. "Zeitschrift". This should be OK, as it just describes the type of the paper and doesn't need to match the English string to 100%. > > The resulting data base is unusable by external tools like Latex, hence > > 'causes non-serious data loss'. That's not true. Maybe for some bibliography styles the ordering is not optimal but there could be others where it doesn't care. Jens
