using PhDThesisPSnPDF class

Question

May be this is a common qusetion but I haven't found this answer. I'm trying to use PhDThesisPSnPDF class but writing in Italian. My only issue is to change the "Chapter" in the italian lenguages (Capitolo). I have no problems with bib, list of contents etc... can some one help me?

Just using babel fixes the issue. In the example I used a mock thebibliography environment just by way of example, use your own method. I also added the oneside option only in order to reduce the number of pages.

You have to change the text for the title page, of course.

\documentclass[
  a4paper,
  12pt,
  %times, % DON'T USE THIS OPTION
  numbered,
  print,
  index,
  oneside, % just for shortening the example
]{PhDThesisPSnPDF}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}

\begin{document}

\author{Io}
\title{Titolo}

\frontmatter

\begin{titlepage}
  \maketitle
\end{titlepage}

\tableofcontents

\listoffigures

\listoftables

\mainmatter

\chapter{Prova}

Testo

\begin{figure}[htp]
A
\caption{Una figura}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}[htp]
B
\caption{Una tabella}
\end{table}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}

\bibitem{x} Riferimento

\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}

\maketitlewithin thetitlepage` environment? – Johannes_B Jan 23 '16 at 11:16
@Johannes_B Why not? That's how the class does the title page – egreg Jan 23 '16 at 11:17
Woul you recommend to do that or not? – Johannes_B Jan 23 '16 at 11:25
I steel a little problem...how ti change for example acknowledgements in the equivalent italian word ringraziamenti? :) – Pierpaolo Croce Jan 23 '16 at 11:55
@PierpaoloCroce The word “Acknowledgments” is hard coded, as well as several other instances of English words. The simplest method is to make a copy of it and fix the English into Italian. – egreg Jan 23 '16 at 12:18
Can explain me how to do this ? or a refence to start? – Pierpaolo Croce Jan 23 '16 at 12:29
@PierpaoloCroce Copy the file, rename it, search for Acknowledgements change the relevant word to italian and save. Make sure your main document calls the changed name in for \documentclass. – Johannes_B Jan 23 '16 at 13:52
the .cls file?? – Pierpaolo Croce Jan 23 '16 at 14:04
@PierpaoloCroce Yes. – egreg Jan 23 '16 at 14:05
