Hello,
Since I'from germany I frequently write things in german but cite a lot of english language publications. So in my previously hand written bib files I used the \foreignlanguage{}{} command from babel package a lot to temporary switch hyphenation patterns for english language paper and journal titles to get correct results. This is especially important on twocolumn output, since there a lot of hyphenation is needed. Now with JabRef I do the same which clutters the display and sorting of title and journal columns in the entry list.
I propose to add an option to add arbitrary latex commands to selected fields by placeholders.
I think of a preset one defines as an option for field entrys and a combo box next to the field. Then, people insert their text into the field normaly and additionaly get the option to set a automatic replacement while savin g to the bib file.
That way people can do special customizations to their bib entrys.
Example:
In the options define placeholder EN = \foreignlanguage{english}{%%s}
In the dialog set field to 'Medical Image Analysis'
Result in bib file:
{\foreignlanguage{english}{Medical Image Analysis}}
