Hi there, I am trying to use your very nice template for my Bachelors Thesis, that unfortunately must be in German. I tried to change the language by adding \selectlanguage{ngerman} or \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} to the top of Thesis.tex but neither of those was able to change the title of the table of content. (Also they didn't translate abstract and listings keywords but I'm not sure if babel usually does this). Any idea why this happens? Best regards and thank you very much for your help Moritz

Hi Moritz,

I cannot reproduce this entirely—the template should be ready for German language: just add \selectlanguage{ngerman} directly after the \frontmatter command. This takes care of turning your ToC into an "Inhaltsverzeichnis." As for the "Abstract", you have to translate this one manually: just take a look at the section heading in Sources/Abstract.tex (in fact, this file is more of an example anyway; the template does not really have a "proper" handling of abstracts at the moment).

Does this help?

Hi, thank you very much for your quick answer. Putting the \selectlanguage{ngerman}after the \frontmatter command works perfectly fine! Thank you for the explanation with the abstract, I should have had a closer look at this .. Again, thank you very much!
