Add a new Abstract field

Post by dexter »

Hi all,

I'm using IEEETran to write and article.
The problem is that in my country as many others we have to make 2 abstracts, one in our language and other in english.

I just wanna know how to add a new field do write the 2 abstracts.
I've tryed edit unsucessfuly the class file of IEEETran.

Does anybody have and awnser for that?

Add a new Abstract field

You can simply use a second abstract field right after the first one. If you need to redefine the word "abstract" (so that's in the other language as well), you can redefine the command that generates it. The following is a minimum example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{IEEEtran}

\begin{document}

\begin{abstract}
First abstract
\end{abstract}

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Abstractorama}
\begin{abstract}
Second abstract
\end{abstract}

\end{document}
