Hi,

First, let me telle you that you did a good job,
writing JabRef !

Now, the request...

I like to use Bibtex keys like
MisterX-Jan2005
or
MisterX-May2005
that are easier to handle than
MisterX-2005a
and
MisterX-2005b,
because the label can be guessed from the article (and
not from the order in which the papers where added to
the database).

IT WOULD BE GREAT if #Jan#, and the eleven other
standart bibtex STRINGS could be used as part of the
keyword (at least for articles). Using #Jan# ini the
bibtex database allows non-english people to print the
bibliography with #Jan# replaced by January, or a
translation of it depending of the main language of the
document to which the bibliography is added. It also
allows to decide, if January should be shortened to Jan.

Many thanks.

Pascal
