Writing papers in foreign languages (toc and image captions)

Writing papers in foreign languages (toc and image captions)

[Nurullah Akkaya]

Hi,

I am using org-mode to write a paper in Turkish, when I export a pdf,
table of contents header reads "Contents" also images containing
captions has "Figure N" in them. Is it possible to change these words
to their Turkish equivalent?

Thanks...

Hi Nirullah,

I guess for that you have to use the latex babel package (not mixing up 
with org-babel), furthermore, you might have to use inputenc and fontenc 
if you get problems with special turkish characters.
All of those you should be able to add to the LATEX header of your org-file
More infos will be here:

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for the tip, adding

    #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[turkish]{babel}

changed both toc and figure captions to Turkish however,
images containing captions,

   #+CAPTION: Iki sensor yerlesimi.
   [[./img/sensor-yerlesim-2.jpg]]

disappeared, I have following in their place now,

 =10em=10em@default
Sekil1:Iki sensor yerlesimi.

Nurullah,

nice to hear it is working now

Hmm that is a bit strange since as far as I know it should not make any 
differences to org-mode, or to say precisely, org mode has no idea that 
you are going to write in Turkish.

The only thing I could think about is some interference with between 
org-mode and babel... however, babel is a very frequently used package 
people would now about any problem and probably fixed it already.

Please check the tex-file generated by org-mode with and without 
babel-package. This gives you an idea whether it is a org-mode or a 
latex problem.

Your workaround might work but cut a bit of the elegance of LaTeX.

Greetings

Torsten

Torsten,

Thanks for all the help, It turns out that it is a latex problem,
switching to other languages works such as german french
but turkish causes compile errors.
