Change 'Abstract' to 'Summary' in article class when working with babel and English (UK)

[Roey Angel]

Hi,
I'm trying to change the section name 'Abstract' to 'Summary' in an article
class document with babel enabled and language set to English (UK).
So far I tried to place in the preamble:

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captions\captionsenglish{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Summary}%
}}
or

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captionsenglish{%
\def\abstractname{Summary}%
}}

or in the document, an ERT with
\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}

but nothing worked

I also tried replacing \captionsenglish with \captionsbritish or
\captionsUKenglish, but both didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Did you try

\AtBeginDocument{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Summary}%
}

that works for me in default language.

Works great!
Why the hell is it documented wrongly under http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted?!?

Thanks

It's a wiki. Now that you know better, can you fix it, please?

This is because first with LyX 2.0.5 we don't load the package babel if your document language is
English. Note that if your document contains another language, and if that#s only a quote from a
French philosopher, you again will have to use \addtocaptionsenglish.

Hi Uwe,
Thanks, good to know.
But in my case I set the language to English (UK) which does load babel.
Also the LyX wiki entry I was talking about refers to cases where babel is
loaded, otherwise \renewcommand\abstractname{Executive Summary} works.

p.s
why did you change the wiki back to the old description.

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captions<your language>{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{In nuce}%
}}


Doesn't seem to work.

Did you try the above in the Preamble, i.e.
\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}

without the "\AtBeginDocument" stuff?

Hi Nikos,
No this doesn't work when babel is loaded.
