MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ changing the name of the list of acronyms

[Andy22]

I'm using the glossaries-package wit the acronym option

Code: Select all

\usepackage[toc,acronym,nonumberlist]{glossaries}

.

I need to change the name of the acronym list from "Acronyme" to "Abkürzungen".

But

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\acronymname}{Abkürzungen}

does not work.

It seems that I can not change any of the names provided by the package like \symbolname, \entryname and so on.

What am I doing wrong?

Since you are writing in german, I presume that you are using the babel package. If not, you should do so.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

With this the way you are trying to redefine the names doesn't work (as you already experienced). You may have to do that in another but very similar way.

Code: Select all

\addto{\captionsngerman}{
  \renewcommand{\acronymname}{Abkürzungen}
}

Refer to the documentation of the glossaries package and try to find out in which way the package cooperates with or supports the babel package.

Thanks for the answer.

As you presumed right I use babel. But I use it since my first tex-project and I never came across something I could not rename in the way I mentioned.
