Hello! I'm new to Lyx and like it so far, but I have a specific question;
Is there a way to change the automated caption names in the environment box, i.e. to change them in a custom language and keyboard layout? For example, instead of Bibliography, I would like to put „Литература“, or instead of Abstract I'd like to put Абстракт, or to change the date format, for example instead of February 14, 2015 - 14. февруари 2015г.

Hi and welcome,
Most likely, you can press a button in some LyX menu, but as not a LyX user, i cannot be of much help.

Wow, i need to take a holiday. I never learnt the greek or cyrillic alphabet, but apparently i can read both. When did this happen?
I suggest to use babel anyway, this time with the option

. With non-latin alphabets, input and fontencoding is quite a mess. Using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX is a good alternative that gets rid of the mess, but i don't know how easy it is to switch in LyX.The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
