how to change the language of the "and" conjunction in a citation call-out?

Question

i'm using \usepackage[authoryear]{natbib} for my bibliography, but as i am brazilian, i'd like to change the and when using \citet{} to e.

For example, instead of Brunnermeier and Sannikov (2014), i would want to display Brunnermeier e Sannikov (2014). Does someone know a way to change that?

The babel package does not translate natbib.

Welcome to TeX.SX! Unfortunately natbib does not support localization. You should consider biblatex. — egreg, Feb 17 '18 at 00:20
Depending on the bibliography style you use, it can be done: see Change multiple author reference from '&' to 'and' with natbib bibliography (duplicate). It works with theagsm and dcu bibliography styles. — Alan Munn, Feb 17 '18 at 02:28
You can also change the and quite easily using the apacite package, which is also compatible with natbib. — Alan Munn, Feb 17 '18 at 02:40
natbib doesn't control the language of the "and" conjunction between author names. The form of the conjunction is determined by the bibliography style. Which bibliography style do you employ? — Mico, Feb 17 '18 at 02:58
I actually migrated to biblatex after egreg's comment, but it is nice to know that i could actually do i what i thought before. I had employed the apalike style, could you explain to me how i can change the conjunction, please? Also i'm going to check apacite. — BelwarDissengulp, Feb 17 '18 at 03:32

Here's how you would do it using the apacite package.

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}

@article{SchmittMunn2002,
    Author = {Cristina Schmitt and Alan Munn},
    Journal = {Linguistic Variation Yearbook},
    Pages = {185-216},
    Title = {The syntax and semantics of bare arguments in {Brazilian Portuguese}},
    Volume = {2},
    Year = {2002}}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[brazilian]{babel}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}

\renewcommand\BBAA{e}
\renewcommand\BBAB{e}

\begin{document}

\citet{SchmittMunn2002}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

To do the same thing with the apalike bibliography style see:
