How to use extraAbstract in Masters/Doctoral Thesis template

Post by nandhos »

I'm using the Masters/Doctoral Thesis ( made by Vel, originally created by Steve R. Gunn and modified into a template by Sunil Patel.)

The main language is portuguese (brazilian) and the second english (only for extraAbstract).

I modified the preambule as follow:

Code: Select all

%----------------------------------------------------------
%	PACKAGES AND OTHER DOCUMENT CONFIGURATIONS
%----------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[
11pt, % The default document font size, options: 10pt, 11pt, 12pt
oneside, % Two side (alternating margins) for binding by default, uncomment to switch to one side
english, brazilian, % ngerman for German
singlespacing, % Single line spacing, alternatives: onehalfspacing or doublespacing
%draft, % Uncomment to enable draft mode (no pictures, no links, overfull hboxes indicated)
%nolistspacing, % If the document is onehalfspacing or doublespacing, uncomment this to set spacing in lists to single
%liststotoc, % Uncomment to add the list of figures/tables/etc to the table of contents
%toctotoc, % Uncomment to add the main table of contents to the table of contents
%parskip, % Uncomment to add space between paragraphs
%nohyperref, % Uncomment to not load the hyperref package
headsepline, % Uncomment to get a line under the header
%chapterinoneline, % Uncomment to place the chapter title next to the number on one line
%consistentlayout, % Uncomment to change the layout of the declaration, abstract and acknowledgements pages to match the default layout
]{MastersDoctoralThesis} % The class file specifying the document structure​
As you see, I only modified the "english, brazilian" option. Every chapters are in portuguese as expected. I need two abstracts: one in portuguese and another in english, but the extraAbstract is in portuguese too. I tried to force it using

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Abstract}
but don't modity the whole parts of the abstract page, as the option

Code: Select all

\byname
. I looking for inside the cls file, they recommend don't modify the file. I make same tries in the part "ABSTRACT PAGE DESIGN" without success. I think need to introduce the title and another thesis information in english.

So, some clue to get two abstracts in to languages (portuguese and english)?
