Well, what I mean is that most of the bibtex styles are written for English text. So they will format entries according to the English spelling. In order to change this - i.e. to localize Your bibtex style - one must edit the .bst file and change all English abbreviations etc. (and - of course - use this style in the document, too :) ). To have an idea what a localized style looks like, please have a look here: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/TeX/CTAN/biblio/bibtex/contrib/german/dinat/dinat.bst There are some German styles, please have a look at the CTAN-site http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/germbib/styles/ Hope this helps!
