I'm hoping the same can be done for other languages by implementing a system preference that contains the articles ("the|an|a") in the script above.
One thing to keep in mind is that even if the catalog is in just one language, say English or French, any tables derived from bibliographic data may have to deal with a lot more than just the language of the catalog - many libraries collect in more than one language. This may simply mean that the value of the system preference may end up being the same regardless of the translation, at least for Indo-European and Semitic languages. Since not all articles will necessarily have a space after them, e.g., L' in some languages, the syspref should reflect that. LC maintains a list of articles at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdapp-e.html.
