I cite german and french articles. In my bibliography the titles are given in quotation marks. Now, I would like to have the quotation marks dependent on the language of the article. I thought biblatex together with csquotes would handle this automatically but in fact all titles have german quotation marks (as this is the language of the main text). This is my header:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french,english,american,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=verbose-ibid,babel=other]{biblatex}

  • My inclination would be to advise against using different types of quotation marks for pieces published in German and French. Why? Well, why adjust only the style of the quotation marks? After all, German and French typographic conventions for referencing entries differ considerably along many aspects, including the use of small-cap or regular letters for authors' names and the spacing around certain punctuation marks (such as colons and semicolons). I'd say, either go whole-hog and adjust all typographic aspects, or stick with one set of typographic conventions. – Mico Mar 15 '13 at 21:34

    Please provide a complete MWE. In your case a bib file would also be needed. – mafp Mar 15 '13 at 21:35
  • I had the same problem recently and asked here: you should find satisfactory answers here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/81655/punctuation-in-bibliography-with-multiple-languages. Withe trad-plain style it is automatic. – Corentin Mar 15 '13 at 22:03
