Language for Contents and List of Figures

Post by caroline »

Hi all,

I hope I post in the right part of the forum.

I have a problem when I export my lyx document in PDF: it generate the contents and the list of figures as expected, but the title of those parts are "Contents" and "List of figures". My report is in French so I would like as tiltle "Sommaire" and "Lise des Figures" How can I change that?

I already change the document language in the document settings and also in lyx preferences. Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you very much for your help

Caroline

I never used LyX, but somehow you should be able to include the babel package into your document.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[french]{babel}
More information should be given by the LyX Help or on its homepage. The manual of the package shows more of its options.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi localghost,

I've try that but it is still in English. But I found out why:
one of my included lyx document was in English. If I change it in French it work fine!

Thank you very much for your fast reply!
