LyX ⇒ Language change in TOC/Listing

[Azergoth]

Hi everyone!

I have a problem with the language of that titles of my listing.
I have inserted some lists as follows:

*Contents
*List of Figures
*Nomenclature
*List of Figures (FOR TESTING PURPOSES)

When I compile, everything works fine, excepted that the Nomenclature (title) appears in French ("Liste de Symboles").

In Lyx, if y select the 4 items and change the language, let's say to Dutch, everything changes correctly EXCEPTED the nomenclature, which STAYS in French!
I have tried to remove and to re add the Nomenclature, but it did not work.
I have also tried to apply "Language > Reset", but it did not work either.

Any idea how I could solve this?
Thanks

I'm using LyX Version 2.1.3 on Mac

It is very likely that the name for the nomenclature is hard-coded in you preamble. Please search for nomname. If you cannot find that string, please make your document as minimal as possible, but still showing the issue and provide the lyx-file as well as the exported LaTeX-file.

Thanks for your reply

The temporary solution was to write it manually in the LaTeX preamble.

I located the problem, and it comes from the abstracts in 3 different languages (Dutch, English and French).

I'll attach a LyX and pdf to illustrate the problem.
(NB: I'm writing in Dutch)
This is the structure:
1) Dutch abstract, English abstract, French abstract

2) TOC (Inhoudshopgave, correct in Dutch), List of Figures (Lijst van afbeeldingen, also correct), Nomenclature (NOT correct!)

3) Some text

No clue?

Apparently all our LyX helpers are on vacation.

I don't have an up to date LyX and cannot open the file, looking at it as plain text, i am pretty sure that your are switching to french for the abstract, but never back to dutch. That would mean that the hyphenation patterns in your whole document are wrong as well.
Can you export the file to LaTeX, so i can be sure about what i am saying?

[Azergoth]

I added the .tex file.

It is true, I'm switching from Dutch to English, and then to French, but then I'm switching back to Dutch.
The firs two objects of TOC (Contents "Inhoudsopgave" and List of figures "Lijst van Afbeeldingen") are displayed correctly.

That is the LyX file once more


I suspect that the Names for ToC and LoF are hardcoded as well in your preamble. What does \languagename written in an ERT-box give mid-document?

[Azergoth]

Ah crap

There it is

[Johannes_B]

LyX puts the languages as global options, so packages can pick it up. Package nomencl does no the french translation, but not the dutch translation.

Currently, the definitions for a language look like the following. Please contribute the dutch translation to the package by mailing them to the package maintainer.

Code: Select all

\DeclareOption{english}{%
  \def\eqdeclaration#1{, see equation\nobreakspace(#1)}%
  \def\pagedeclaration#1{, page\nobreakspace#1}%
  \def\nomname{Nomenclature}}
\DeclareOption{french}{%
  \def\eqdeclaration#1{, voir \'equation\nobreakspace(#1)}%
  \def\pagedeclaration#1{, page\nobreakspace#1}%
  \def\nomname{Liste des symboles}}

Ok, thanks, I understand!

Now I also understand why I didn't see the error previously. Without the french abstract, Lyx used the English version of "nomenclature", which was also fine in Dutch
