No Dutch titles

Opened this issue · 2 comments

I am using overleaf and am not able to change the language of titles, headers, captions, etc. to Dutch

I added the line \usepackage[dutch]{babel} in thesis.tex but that seems to have not made any difference.
Possibly that I have missed some config setting somewhere but I'm not sure where hence why I'm reaching out

Thank you in advance for your help!

The template only supports English. The titles are hardcoded in the *.cls and *.cfg files. You could search for the strings and change them manually in those files.

Hi! Thank you for the info

This replacement mostly solved the issue. There were some additional thing that needed to be done as well.

This needed to be added to the prelude of thesis.tex

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figuur}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figuur}}
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{Hoofdstuk}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\chaptername}{Hoofdstuk}}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Inhoud}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Inhoud}}
\renewcommand\bibname{Bibliografie}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\bibname}{Bibliografie}}

Also: the list of abbreviations and list of symbols need to have their titles renamed as well, I just commented them out since I didn't really need them
*Either by the aforementioned method
*Or by creating a custom chapter where you can just write your own title

Could you add the info from this issue to the documentation as well? I assume it will save future users some time :)
