How to modify a BibTex format?

Hi everyone! I have to insert a Translator — or Trans Auth — field into my BibTex format. Therefore, I have to modify it. How could I do that?
For instance, in the BibTex entry, I'd like to insert, as a translator:

Brisson, Luc



@Book{Platon1994,
author = {Platon},
title = {Parménide},
publisher = {Flammarion},
address = {Paris},
year = {1994}, }

Assuming the name is in the Translator field (user3), you can insert a new line in the BibTeX.fmt order field. Like this, between author and editor:

author = {$a}, $
translator = {$u3*}, $
editor = {$e}, $

The * after u3 tells Bookends to treat the contents of that field as a name.
