LyX ⇒ Language functions of error type theorem

[csfab]

Hello, I am a user's recent lyx, and I'm loving it, and do not understand much English as I am Brazilian and Portuguese-BR use, I have the following problem.

I am doing a mathematics text and when you put a function for example - theorem, theorem appears in lyx, but when I generate the pdf file is in English, has put all languages into Portuguese, but not working.

Note: use fedora 13
No more waiting.

Please, create an example .lyx file which shows the problem, put it in a ZIP archive and attach it to your next post.

Where it should be "Exemplo" which is the translation for the Portuguese sample is in English,ie example, so does Theorem, summary, definition

I'm afraid manual work from your side is required. You have to do the following:

1. Find files theorems-ams.inc and theorems-starred.inc which are located in folder layouts inside SystemDir.

2. Copy these two files into layouts folder inside your UserDir.

3. Edit those copied files and replace English strings with corresponding Portuguese (e.g. replace
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition} with \newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definição}).

4. After you finished editing, restart LyX and see if changes are applied.

NOTE 1: In case you need English terms later, just remove those two files from your UserDir.

NOTE 2: Naturally, to change names/titles for Table of Contents and other parts of a document it's enough to set language in Document > Settings > Language.

Thank you, worked perfectly

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Sorry I said it worked, but had not tested the function definition, theorem, corollary and other works fine but setting gives an error like the image

Please, copy theorems-ams.inc and theorems-starred.inc you modified, put them in a ZIP archive and attach them to your next post.

As requested

Ah, accents issue. Just replace ç with \c{c} and ã with \~{a}. Same goes for other non-English characters (consult, e.g., this table for infos about accents).
