 There should be no need for manual fixes, just do this:

   \unprotect
   \def\insertmonth#1#2#3%
{\bibdoifelse{\@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   {#1\doifnumberelse{\@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]@EA{\@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   {\@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   \protect
   \def\doconvertshortmonth#1%
 {\ifcase#1\or % adjust names as you like
  jan\or feb\or mar\or apr\or may\or jun\or
  jul\or aug\or sep\or oct\or nov\or dec\else !!!\fi }


Thanks,

\def\doconvertshortmonth#1%
   {\ifcase#1\or % adjust names as you like
Jan.\or Feb.\or Mar.\or Apr.\or May\or June\or
July\or Aug.\or Sep.\or Oct.\or Nov.\or Dec.\else !!!\fi }

gives me exactly what I want.

 Sure, it is just an oversight. For this to work, only a redefinition
 of \insertmonth is needed (I had intented that all along, just
 forgot to implement it), For now, just add this somewhere after
 the loading of the bib module.

 That will give you the full month name according to the current
 language labeltext for the month names. Not perfect yet, but better.

Thanks. For my present project I need short month names, and the 
deadline is tomorrow. So, I will stick to the manual solution at the 
moment.


 I'll ask Hans to provide true \numberconversions for month names in
 short and long format, so I can extend the module officially.

That will be great.

Aditya
