Document Classes ⇒ beamer | Changing Environment Names

[bkarpuz]

Dear LC members,

I am using beamer for my presentation but I have a little problem. When I use the definition environment, it shows a box with a title Definition. How can I change that title?


Thanks.

How do you want to name it? Do you want to give it a completely new name or just have a translation of the term "Definition"?

I will just type the translation...

[localghost]

Then give more information about the language and how "Definition" reads in this language. My crystal ball is out of order at the moment.

Ooops, localghost, I am very sorry for my poor answer.
My thesis is in Turkish, For Definition, we use the word Tan{\i}m. If you can help me with this one, I think I can figure the rest for other environments like theorem, example...

Thanks

For translations the solution becomes quite easy. The beamer class comes with the »translator« package (and uses it internally). This package is documented in Chapter 25 of the beamer user guide.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[smaller,turkish]{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{fix-cm}

\newtranslation[to=Turkish]{Definition}{Tan{\i}m}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    \begin{definition}
      Definition body
    \end{definition}
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

The code for such environments can be found in the file »beamerbasetheorems.sty«. These environments are prepared for usage with the »translator« package. Other translations happen analogous.

Many thanks for your reply but this yield another problem.
I use \beamergotobutton when I apply the code you have supplied I get an error with the following part \begin{frame}[label=mr] in the minimized example below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[smaller,turkish]{beamer}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{fix-cm}

\usetheme{Warsaw}

\newtranslation[to=Turkish]{Theorem}{Teorem}
\newtranslation[to=Turkish]{Definition}{Tan{\i}m}

\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Introduction}
\begin{definition}
--
\end{definition}
\hyperlink{mr<1>}{\beamergotobutton{Skip Introduction}}
\end{frame}

\section{Main Results}

\begin{frame}[label=mr] %If I remove [label=mr], it works fine
\frametitle{Main Results}
\begin{theorem}
--
\end{theorem}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

The issue is not the related to the translations themselves, but to babel and its »turkish« language option. For details refer to the babel manual. The "=" character undergoes a special handling which is the probable cause. With other language options like »ngerman« this problem does not occur. At the moment I can't offer a solution to this. Perhaps somebody else can.

Thank you again localghost for your reply. I defined new environments as follows.

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{ctheorem}{Teorem}[subsection]
\newtheorem{ccorollary}[theorem]{Sonu\c{c}}
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{cdefinition}[theorem]{Tan{\i}m}
\newtheorem{cexample}[theorem]{\"{O}rnek}
\newtheorem{clemma}[theorem]{Lemma}
\newtheorem{remark}[theorem]{Uyar{\i}}
\newtheorem{property}[theorem]{\"{O}zellik}

Best regards.
