German captions with BibTeX ("und" instead of "and")

Question

If I quote a piece with two authors, I would like to have in the text: "(Spagna und Peattie, 2012)" instead of "(Spagna and Peattie, 2012)". If there are more than two authors, everything is fine again, since "et al." is written. I use the apalike bibliography style.

\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage[german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\clearpage\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Referenzen}
\thispagestyle{plain}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{referenzen}

Here is an example of a piece with two authors; the citation call-out should use the conjunction "und":

@article{spagna2012terrestrial,
    title={Terrestrial locomotion in arachnids},
    author={Spagna, Joseph C and Peattie, Anne M},
    journal={Journal of Insect Physiology},
    volume={\textbf{58}},
    pages={599--605},
    year={2012},
    publisher={Elsevier}
}

I don't understand the question, the two variants looks identical to me. Also please make a small, but complete example that can be used for tests. — Ulrike Fischer, Jul 02 '20 at 10:03
Welcome to TeX.SE! This should work. Please provide a fully working example. Does the error persist if you comment out \bibliographystyle? — tanGIS, Jul 02 '20 at 10:04
Does the posting Bibtex link word "AND" with different translations in a single bibliography and the associated answer solve your objective? — Mico, Jul 02 '20 at 10:28
Off-topic: Why do you load babel with the option german rather than with the option ngerman? Does your document really adhere to the pre-1996 spelling rules? — Mico, Jul 02 '20 at 10:34
I think this question has been erroneously been pointed out as a duplicate. The other question is about having different link words for different references. This question is as far as I understand only about getting "und" for a German document. — pst, Jul 04 '20 at 13:35

One way is to use Biblatex instead, which takes care of that automatically. Here is an example which uses the natbib option to make it more like natbib users are used to.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, natbib]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{referenzen.bib}
\begin{document}
Dies ist ein Beispiel \citep{spagna2012terrestrial}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Since Eli is using apacite, the \usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex} may be more suitable. – Manuel Weinkauf Jul 02 '20 at 13:33

@ManuelWeinkauf The OP uses apalike, which is only "like APA" (apacite on the other hand would indeed give full-on APA 6th edition style). I would only use style=apa, if I really need APA style. For something "like APA" for some definition of "like", style=authoryear, is usually the better choice. – moewe Jul 02 '20 at 14:08
