General ⇒ \tableofcontets in TeXnicCenter

[toni]

Hi all,

I've just started working with TeXnicCenter and have already a problem:

I have to write a document in an language for which one there doesn't exist a package (e.g. like for german: \package[german]{babel}), and so when I wirte \tableofcontets, I get the Content of the document, BUT: The title on the content-page is CONTENT, in english, but I want also this word "CONTENT" in the documentlanguage.

My question: Is it possible to change the word CONTENT, wich automatically appears in the document? How can I do it?

Regards.

Hi,

in the preamble of your document write something like this:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\contentsname{The desired name}

Hi gmedina,

Thank you for your hint...
Unfortunatelly the command \renewcommand\contentsname{...} has no effect...

Build a minimnal working example (MWE) that show what is not working. And maybe you can tell us which language you are writing in. babel supports many languages so that it is very unlikely not to find your language in the list. The suggestion of gmedina doesn't work if babel is loaded.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for your hints...

The document-language albanian; babel doesn't support this language.

When I write:


\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
...
\end{document}

I get a blank page where you can read only "Content". But becaouse the text is in albanian, it doesn't go with "Content"; in stead of the word "Content" I want the albanian word for content, "Përmbajtje".

Regards.

I guess you didn't really read what a MWE looks like. Please do that and try again. Looking at the babel manual, I see that Albanian is supported very well (Section 50 - The Albanian language, p. 250ff). You may have to build the right format files on your LaTeX system.

Excuse me, I was confused...

Now it works with the gmedina's hint :
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Përmbajtje}

The problem was: I had in Preambel two packackes which support the german language, and after I left them out, it works...

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards.

Note that without any package supporting your language you won't have correct hyphenation. So try the babel package after building the right format files on your LaTeX system. Using MiKTeX this is easily done in the MiKTeX Settings.

ook, I'll try... Thanks for your hint .
