[Tex/LaTex] Is it possible to translate the ‘and’ separator in references using BibTeX

Question

I'm using the standard plain style for my bibliography. My document is written in Dutch, so I'm using the babel package, but the and separator before the last author isn't translated to the Dutch alternative en.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dutch]{babel}
\begin{document}
  \nocite{*}
  \bibliographystyle{plain}
  \bibliography{references}
\end{document}

After reading this answer, I know how to create a custom style myplain, where and is changed to en, but I was wondering whether it is truly necessary to create a new style for this.

Aren't babel and some other trick sufficient? If not, does one have to create a new style for every language (e.g. in French, and is et)?

Answer 1

You can use babelbib:

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{ur,
  author={A. Uthor and W. Riter},
  title={Title},
  journal={Journal},
  year={2016},
}
@book{x,
  editor={E. Ditor},
  title={Collection},
  year={2016},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dutch]{babel}
\usepackage{babelbib}

\begin{document}

\cite{ur}, \cite{x}

\bibliographystyle{babplain}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
