It should be possible to tear them apart at LyX level. Currently, both
Theorem and Theorem* use \theoremname. It should work to do something like
Style Theorem
Preamble
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{\protect\theoremname}
EndPreamble
LangPreamble
\providecommand{\theoremname}{_(Theorem[[numbered]])}
EndLangPreamble
BabelPreamble
\addto\captions$$lang{\renewcommand{\theoremname}{_(Theorem[[numbered]])}}
EndBabelPreamble
End
Style Theorem*
Preamble
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem*{thm*}{\protect\theoremnamestarred}
EndPreamble
LangPreamble
\providecommand{\theoremnamestarred}{_(Theorem[[unnumbered]])}
EndLangPreamble
BabelPreamble
\addto\captions$$lang{\renewcommand{\theoremnamestarred}
{_(Theorem[[unnumbered]])}}
EndBabelPreamble
End
I don't know if the [[context]] machinery works with the layout file
translation machinery, but if not it should be easy to fix.
The drawback of this is however that it makes the LaTeX code more
complicated for all languages, not only for Romanian. Apart from that it is
also too late to include this in 2.0.0 IMHO, since it would need some
testing.
A more elegant solution would probably be to extend the layout file syntax
so that language specific preambles can be used. With this extended syntax
it would be possible to put Valentins code in the .layout files and use it
only for Romanian, but this is definitely 2.1 stuff.
For the 2.0.x series I suggest to create a fix-romanian-theorems.module that
includes Valentins code. This can then added by all users who use Romanian.
The module does not need to be ready for 2.0.0, 2.0.1 or later would also
do, since there are no compatibility issues.
