When writing bib files, bibtex prescribes a captitalized ordinal for editions, such as edition={Fourth}. But babelbib and biblatex insist on numbers, such as edition=4. This means that whenever we switch from one program to another one, we have to rewrite our bib files. Similar rewriting has to happen for langid in biblatex+biber vs. language in babelbib+bibtex.



E.g., the following file is made for processing with pdflatex and bibtex:



documentclass{article}
usepackage[USenglish,ngerman]{babel}
usepackage{babelbib}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib}
@book{Fischer-LineareAlgebra,
author={Gerd Fischer},
title={Lineare Algebra},
edition={12},
isbn={3-528-87217-9},
publisher={Vieweg},
language={ngerman}
}
end{filecontents}
bibliographystyle{bababbrv}
begin{document}
cite{Fischer-LineareAlgebra}
bibliography{jobname}
end{document}


With bibtex but without babelbib, we'd have to rewrite 12 to Twelth. With biber+biblatex, we'd have to keep 12 but change language to langid.



So, how to automatize this process? Each manual rewriting is error prone and takes time...
