Math & Science ⇒ Algorithmus to Algorithm

[andyR]

Hi
I am using LYX classicthesis for the algorithm caption on pdf file it writes the German Algorithmus, I seen a post someone had the posit problem and solution provide was to add

Code: Select all

\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithmus}
\addto\captionsngerman{\def\figurename{Bild}}

to Preamble

I changed it, with a few variations e.g.

Code: Select all

\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithmus}
\addto\captionsenglish{\def\figurename{Bild}}

or

Code: Select all

\floatname{algorithmu}{Algorithm}
\addto\captionsenglish{\def\figurename{Bild}}

but nothing worked. If you are providing a solution that require changing a code at Latex or tex level, as I am new to latex, please specify the file name and where (likely) it resides.

Many thanks

Andy

Hi andy and welcome,

right now i neither understand the question nor what you are trying to achieve. I suggest to read some basic LaTeX reading before starting.
LyX is a tool for experienced users as stated by one of the developers.


You mention the german, if you are interested, you can post on the german TeXwelt.de as well. See my signature.

Hi

when I am inserting float->Algorithm an algorithm box appears where I define my algorithm at the bottom in the centre there is a little box for the caption before the box it reads Algorithm and then a number; in the little box where the caption goes however when I generate pdf file the string Algorithm before the caption changes to Algorithmus. I am using classicthesis.

Thank you

Andy

What is the main language of your document? Please prepare a minimal working example

btw: Using classicthesis is not precise. The whole template is obsolete in most parts and the package that was created by the author is badly implemented and breaks several functions of KOMA-script. Everytime i hear the word classicthesis my pulse raises with the wish to delete the whole ducking thing.
