LaTeX forum ⇒ Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Can I use this template with the Spanish language? Topic is solved

[templateuser]

Sorry, I'm just learning how to use Latex and I came across this wonderful template. Is there a way to use this template with the Spanish language? That is, is there a way to change the template in such a way that the document labels (chapters, sections, theorems, definitions, examples, ect) all come out in Spanish? If so, how can I go about making such change? Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my question.

Hi Mario,

You can definitely use it with Spanish! There's two things you will need to do, first, go to structure.tex and change \usepackage[english]{babel} to \usepackage[spanish]{babel}. This will change the figures, tables, table of contents, dates, etc text to Spanish. You'll have to skip the \lipsum{} errors as it seems to have issues with other languages.

Next, you need to change the text for the theorems, exercises, definitions, vocabularies, etc manually in structure.tex. Just search for "% Defines the theorem text style for each type of theorem to one of the three styles above" and change the names in that block.

Cheers,
Vel

Hey,

According to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Internationalization you need to use "brazilian" for the babel package, or alternatively "portuguese".

Often times when you change languages you need to trash your auxiliary files to get rid of those errors. You can also just skip them and it should work after 2 compilations.

Hi,
a long time since the last reply to this post, i got a question on it though.
I find the \usepackage[english]{babel} and for changing it to Greek, i guess i have to replace the word "english" in the bracket with the word "greek".

Afterwards, the direction is to

change the text for the theorems, exercises, definitions, vocabularies, etc manually in structure.tex. Just search for "% Defines the theorem text style for each type of theorem to one of the three styles above" and change the names in that block.

I spotted where this is located in the structure.tex file, but what exactly am i supposed to change with what?

I am new to latex so may question may seem obvious..

I am using texmaker 4.4.1 as an editor under ubutnu 16.04.2

thanks for any reply

Have a look at line 231 (or somewhere near) and you will find the following line:

% Defines the theorem text style for each type of theorem to one of the three styles above

You have to define the names of Corollaries, Theorems etc. for you native language. But you only have to do that, if you are using them. If there are none of those defined, no need to do anything. Check the output for english words where you would have suspected greek words.

Hi,
I want to use the tempate for a czech book, so I changed the structure.tex on line 31 to:

\usepackage[czech]{babel}

Unfortunately when I do this, the boxes for Definitions, Examples etc. stop working (No box or any background color appears). When i change it back to English it works perfectly. Other settings connected with language seem to be OK.

Do you have any clue how to fix this?

Thanks!
