That file should be on your TeX installation. Use whatever find-a-file
stuff you have available to locate it.

I tend to put translator info in the Note field. Whatever you put there
will be set at the end of the entry, using apalike (and probably
apalike2). It's not a great solution. I should modify apalike so that it does have a translator field that is put in a sensible place. I'd guess
it's already been done, however.

Thanks, Richard. That helps. When you say
Just hit the "browse" button in the dialog where
you choose a bibliography style, and then go find the file apalike2.bst.
do you mean find it in my tex installation or find it on the web and
donwnload it? What field would normally be used for additional
information -- translator, privately published, an add-on to the
title, etc?

Look at the file apalike.bst, which will tell you want fields are
defined. (There is no field "translator", by the way.) And you can use apalike2, if you wish. Just hit the "browse" button in the dialog where you choose a bibliography style, and then go find the file apalike2.bst.

It is, by the way, not that terribly hard to modify these styles once
you get the hang of it.

The closest bib style to what a certain journal want seems to be
apalike2, while apalike is not as close but OK. LyX supports apalike (Can it be made to support apalike2?) Suppose then I use apalike. Does
anyone know how I can find out what fields are supported in apalike
style? For example, does it have a field called Translator and if so,
does that mean I should define a custom field in BibDesk called
Translator?

Thanks for any help the list can provide.
