I'm using natbib to make the citations in my document. When I cite an article that has more than one author with \citep{Ak-Suleimani1999}, I have, in the output:

Ak-Suleimani et al., 1999

The problem is that I would like to have:

Ak-Suleimani y col., 1999

I had read that, with biblatex, it is a really easy thing to do:

Replace et al. with \& al.

But I didn't find a way to do this with natbib. I really would like to keep working with this package, so I don't have to change a lot of code trough my almost ready document.

    It is buried as a fixed string et~al. in the bibliography style file, e.g. plainnat.bst. You could make a local copy, with a new name, and replace that one occurance. – Andrew Swann Aug 05 '13 at 15:11
  • Lev Bishop's answer to the linked question deals with natbib/ BibTeX. – lockstep Aug 05 '13 at 15:13
  • Saw that, but I think that's not a great way to fix it. I was looking something more like \usepackage[someoption]{natbib} so I don't have to change the .bst file every time I compile. – user215982 Aug 05 '13 at 15:38
  • @user215982 Regrettably, the appearance of et al. is (usually) hard-coded into .bst styles when using natbib. There is no 'magic' fix for this, so I'd say the linked question is the best you'll find. – Joseph Wright Aug 05 '13 at 15:46
