Dutch LyX

2007-12-30 Thread Tim Vos
Dear LyX users,

I would like to write my reports in dutch, but I don't have a 'patch' that 
makes all LyX inputs dutch (for example: Abstract, References, etc..). How can 
I change this so that I can easially switch between dutch and english? I am not 
really handy with all this MikTeX stuff, so I hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks!

Tim

Select dutch in Document-Settings-Language. This will load the dutch 
hyphenation patterns, enable dutch spell checking and translate strings 
like References, Chapter etc. in the output. To select different languages 
for single paragraphs or expressions, use Edit-Text Style-Language.

The strings remain untranslated (i.e., English) in the LyX work area, though. 
The reason is that the dutch translation of the LyX user interface has not 
been maintained since March 2003 and was removed from the release (since it 
does not have the minimum number of required translations).

If you feel like it, you're welcome to get the dutch translation into shape 
again. All that it needs is a text editor and dutch language skills:

Select "dutch" in Document->Settings->Language. This will load the dutch 
hyphenation patterns, enable dutch spell checking and translate strings 
like "References, Chapter" etc. in the output. To select different languages 
for single paragraphs or expressions, use Edit->Text Style->Language.
