Scientific Word/Workplace ⇒ Translation of Identifiers to other Language

[omer21]

Hi,

is it possible to translate theorem, definition, lemma, ... strings like to Turkish in SW? For example I want to change "Definition" to "Tanım". If it is possible could you help?

[omer21]

I used babel package and I did some changes in preamble for example I replaced

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Definition}

with

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Tanım}

Here is my document code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}%
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}%
\usepackage{amsmath}%
\setcounter{MaxMatrixCols}{30}%
\usepackage{amsfonts}%
\usepackage{amssymb}%
\usepackage{graphicx}

%BeginMSIPreambleData
\providecommand{\U}[1]{\protect\rule{.1in}{.1in}}
%EndMSIPreambleData
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{acknowledgement}[theorem]{Acknowledgement}
\newtheorem{algorithm}[theorem]{Algorithm}
\newtheorem{axiom}[theorem]{Axiom}
\newtheorem{case}[theorem]{Case}
\newtheorem{claim}[theorem]{Claim}
\newtheorem{conclusion}[theorem]{Conclusion}
\newtheorem{condition}[theorem]{Condition}
\newtheorem{conjecture}[theorem]{Conjecture}
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{Sonuç}
\newtheorem{criterion}[theorem]{Criterion}
\newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Tanım}

\newtheorem{exercise}[theorem]{Exercise}
\newtheorem{lemma}[theorem]{Lemma}
\newtheorem{notation}[theorem]{Notation}
\newtheorem{problem}[theorem]{Problem}
\newtheorem{proposition}[theorem]{Proposition}
\newtheorem{remark}[theorem]{Remark}
\newtheorem{solution}[theorem]{Solution}
\newtheorem{summary}[theorem]{Summary}
\newenvironment{proof}[1][Proof]{\noindent\textbf{#1.} }{\ \rule{0.5em}{0.5em}}
\begin{document}

\begin{theorem}
this is theorem

\begin{definition}
this is definition

\begin{example}
this is ex.

\begin{corollary}
dsfsdf
\end{corollary}
\end{example}
\end{definition}
\end{theorem}


\end{document}

I get the output as in the attached image which does not seem properly.

Try adding \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} to your preamble.

Thanks for your reply cgnieder
But no luck. I get same output.

In addition to the correct font encoding (by fontenc) you need a corresponding input encoding e.g. by selinput. Add these lines to the document preamble.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{   % Semi-automatic determination
  ccedilla={ç},         % of input encoding
  odieresis={ö},        % by a list of selected glyphs
  scedilla={ş}          % see: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/glyphlist.txt
}

Sorry, I suggested the wrong package (although »fontenc« definitely doesn't hurt). You should add

Code: Select all

\usepackage[<encoding>]{inputenc}

where <encoding> should be the suiting package option according to the input encoding of your file. For me it is utf8.

Regards

PS: or go with Thorsten's suggestion

[omer21]

As I know right font encoding is iso-8859-9 (latin5) for Turkish. I tried

Code: Select all

\usepackage[latin5]{inputenc}

but it does not work. Also I tried it with Thorsten's suggestion but I got the following error

Code: Select all

Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel)                the language `Turkish'
(babel)                I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.


! LaTeX Error: File `selinput.sty' not found.

Not the font encoding is important here (I believe) but the input encoding of your editor. You should check with which encoding your files are saved. The one of »inputenc« should match that.

When latin5 >>inputenc<< is in the preamble, i save document with turkish character set. Similarly with utf8 inputenc i save with UT8 character set. In both cases when i preview pdf it does not seem properly.

This is not part of the error, just a warning. You have to activate the hyphenation patterns for your language. I can't tell you how to do that in SW.

Simply install the package by the package manager of SW (if there is one). It is part of the oberdiek bundle.
