This problem is probably trivial, but it's very important to me. After hours spent on searching the solution I couldn't find it.

My LaTeX document works very well with biblatex, biber and babel, but I couldn't achieved the look of bibliography like in Polish books/articles/thesis. Generally it's look like in English (default), but not sure.

Some additional errors:

Package csquotes Warning: Load 'inputenc' before 'csquotes' on input line XXX.
Package csquotes Info: Checking for multilingual support...
Package csquotes Info: ... found 'babel' package.
Package csquotes Info: Adjusting default style.
Package csquotes Warning: No style for language 'polish'.

My minimal example

main.tex

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,openright]{report}
...
\usepackage[polish]{babel}
\usepackage{polski}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[
  style=numeric, % numeric, alphabetic, authoryear, ect.
  sorting=nty,
  isbn=false,
  backend=biber,]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
...
\begin{document}

% include some chapters
\include{chap_prolog}
...

\printbibliography
\end{document}

bibliography.bib

@Book{KrysWlod99,
  author = {Włodzimierz Krysicki and Lech Włodarski},
  title = {Analiza matematyczna w zadaniach},
  publisher = {Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN},
  year = {1999},
  part={1},
  address = {Warszawa},
  isbn = {83-01-01460-1}
}

@Article{Popper84,
  author = {Popper K. R.},
  title = {Literatura na świecie},
  journaltitle = {Epistemologia bez podmiotu poznającego},
  year = {1984},
  number = {12}
}

The output

Bibliograpthy printout

...but it should look something like this:

[ 1 ] Włodzimierz Krysicki i Lech Włodarski, Analiza matematyczna w zadaniach, Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN, Warszawa 1999, tom 1.

[ 2 ] Popper K.R., Epistemologia bez podmiotu poznającego, ,,Literatura na świecie'' 1984 nr 12.

How to switch on or declare biber and biblatex for polish style of bibliography?

Or how to write own Polish bibliography style for biblatex and biber?

Did I done something in wrong in the example?

PS. I know I could use thebibliography, but this is not the solution for automatic bibliography.

    It is not biblatex but csquotes that is complaining. So look at the documentation of csquotes how to create a quoting style for polish or how to use one of the existing quoting style instead. Jul 16, 2014 at 10:33

    \DeclareQuoteAlias{german}{polish} will let csquotes use german when polish is specified, which gives the quote style you ask for. For changes to the biblatex layout see tex.stackexchange.com/q/12806/15925 Jul 16, 2014 at 11:23
  • Thank you @AndrewSwann for fast reply. The solution for quotations is almost quite good, but the last of quote's mark is wrong according to this example Quotations for Polish

Actually, at least for first levels quotes , the polish style is the same as croatian, which is defined in csquotes. For the remaining questions, a few patches to biblatex solve them (you need to load the xpatch package):

    \documentclass[a4paper,twoside,openright,polish]{report}
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{lmodern}

    \usepackage{babel}
    \usepackage{csquotes}
    \DeclareQuoteAlias{croatian}{polish}
    \usepackage[%
    style=numeric, % numeric, alphabetic, authoryear, ect.
    sorting=nty,
    isbn=false,
    abbreviate = false,
    backend=biber,]{biblatex}
    \addbibresource{polbiblio.bib}

    \renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
    \renewbibmacro*{in:}{}

    \usepackage{xpatch}

    \xpatchbibdriver{book}{%
    \newunit
    \iffieldundef{maintitle}
    {\printfield{volume}%
    \printfield{part}}
    {}%
    }
    {%
    }{}{}

    \xpatchbibdriver{book}{%
    \usebibmacro{publisher+location+date}%
    }
    {%
    \usebibmacro{publisher+location+date}%
    \newunit
    \printfield{volume}%
    \printfield{part}
    \usebibmacro{finentry}
    }{}{}

    \DeclareFieldFormat{journaltitle}{\mkbibquote{#1}}
    \DeclareFieldFormat[article,periodical]{number}{nr.  #1}% number of a journal

    \DeclareFieldFormat
    [article,inbook,incollection,inproceedings,patent,thesis,unpublished]
    {title}{\mkbibemph{#1}}
    %
    \renewbibmacro*{journal+issuetitle}{%
    \usebibmacro{journal}%
    \setunit*{\addspace}%
    \iffieldundef{series}
    {}
    {\newunit
    \printfield{series}%
    \setunit{\addspace}}%
    \usebibmacro{issue+date}%
    \setunit{\addspace}%
    \usebibmacro{issue}%
    \setunit{\addspace}%
    \usebibmacro{volume+number+eid}%
    \newunit}

    \renewbibmacro*{issue+date}{%
    \iffieldundef{issue}
    {\usebibmacro{date}}
    {\printfield{issue}%
    \setunit*{\addspace}%
    \usebibmacro{date}}%
    \newunit}

    \renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
    \printlist{publisher}%
    \iflistundef{publisher}
    {\setunit*{\addcomma\space}}
    {\setunit*{\addcomma\space}}%
    \printlist{location}%
    \setunit*{\addspace}%
    \usebibmacro{date}%
    \newunit}

    \begin{document}

    \nocite{*}

    \printbibliography

    \end{document}

  • Thank you @Bernard, this is great answer and good point to start own customization. You save my day and probably the day many of my fellows.

Here is a way to define a Polish quote style for csquotes. I have based it on the code in csquotes.def for german, but with appropriate changes of quote symbols. As mentioned in my comment above Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles should help you to get started configuring the biblatex style and I won't address that here.

Sample text

Sample bib

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,openright]{report}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[polish]{babel}
\usepackage{polski}

\usepackage{csquotes}
\DeclareQuoteStyle[quotes]{polish}
  {\quotedblbase}
  {\textquotedblright}
  [0.05em]
  {\quotesinglbase}
  {\fixligatures\textquoteright}
\DeclareQuoteAlias[quotes]{polish}{polish}
\DeclareQuoteOption{polish}

\usepackage[
  style=numeric, % numeric, alphabetic, authoryear, ect.
  sorting=nty,
  isbn=false,
  backend=biber,]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
\begin{document}

\enquote{Najstarsze zdanie w języku polskim \enquote{Day, ut ia pobrusa, a ti poziwai} zapisano w 1270 roku\dots}

\nocite{*}

\printbibliography
\end{document}
