[Tex/LaTex] How to add more one abstract and one more keywords “section” to the ACM template

acmacmart

I'm writing an article for a conference in Brazil that uses the latex template from ACM format (ACM Conference Proceedings – New Master Template) and I wanted to know how can I add one more abstract and one more keywords "section"?

As I am writing for a Brazilian conference I must have "Resumo" (an abstract in Portuguese) and "Palavras-chave" (the keywords in Portuguese).

I tried to create them only using \begin{resumo} or \begin{palavrasChaves}, but it says that:

Environment resumo undefined

So I tried to modify the acmart.cls, to create these two sections ("Resumo" and "Palavras-chave"), but I couldn't make any progress…

I've also tried to find it in the acmart.pdf, but I couldn't find how to create new "sections".

The ACM template has the following instructions:

\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}
\title{SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX Format}

\begin{abstract}
This paper provides a sample of ACM SIG Proceedings.
\end{abstract}

\keywords{ACM proceedings, \LaTeX}

 % Right Here I need the abstract in portuguese ("Resumo") and 
 % afterwards I need the keywords in portuguese ("Palavras-chave").

\maketitle

\end{document}

I have sent an e-mail to acm support but they haven't answered yet, but as it is quite urgent could you help me with that?

P.S: I am working with the Overleaf template.

Thank you!

ACM answered me:

If you want to add another Abstract and Keywords section in other languages in your article you must add the following instructions:

    \makeatletter
    
   \def\portkeywords#1{\g@addto@macro\@keywords{\endgraf\bigskip{\bfseries\Large\noindent PALAVRAS-CHAVE}\endgraf\noindent#1}}%
    
    \newenvironment{otherlangabstract}{\Collect@Body\@saveaotherbstract}{}
    
    \long\def\@saveaotherbstract#1{\g@addto@macro\@abstract{\endgraf\bigskip{\bfseries\Large\noindent RESUMO}\endgraf\noindent\ignorespaces#1}}
    
    \@saveaotherbstract{}
    
    \makeatother

Just create both and you are ready to go...

\begin{otherlangabstract}
 Resumo em português.
\end{otherlangabstract}

\portkeywords{Procedimentos ACM}

UPDATE: Change Keywords to Palavras-Chaves

If the other way doesn't work anymore, you can try this:

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\maketitle}{\@specialsection{Keywords}}{\@specialsection{Palavras-Chave}}{}{}
\makeatother

\keywords{another, way, to, change, keywords}

[Tex/LaTex] Titlesec and ACM conference format: How to get proper capitalization of sections

The definition you report states that the spacing before the section title is 10pt, extendable to 14pt and shrinkable to 8pt (the fourth argument to \@startsection) and that the spacing after the title is 4pt (fifth argument).

The negative values in -10\p@ \@plus -4\p@ \@minus -2\p@ tell LaTeX that the following paragraph should not be indented; the positive value in the fifth argument tells that this sectioning level is "displayed" rather than "run in".

So if you want no space after the section title and to reduce the space above you can do something like

\makeatletter
\def\section{%
  \@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}%
    {-6\p@ \@plus -2\p@ \@minus -1\p@}%Caleb Serafy
    {1sp}%Caleb Serafy
    {\baselineskip 14pt\secfnt\@ucheadtrue}%
}
\makeatother

Notice that I didn't say 0pt (or the equivalent 0\p@ or \z@ in a \makeatletter regime) for the fifth argument, but 1sp (the minumum positive length, which is unnoticeable by the naked eye). I've marked the modifications with your name, as did GM when changed the setup in the style sheet.

However, I don't think that the conference organizers will be happy about this, since they provide a stylesheet just to ensure uniform appearance of the papers.

[Tex/LaTex] How to remove conference information from the ACM 2017 SIGCONF template

Add the following lines below the \documentclass line.

\settopmatter{printacmref=false} % Removes citation information below abstract
\renewcommand\footnotetextcopyrightpermission[1]{} % removes footnote with conference information in first column
\pagestyle{plain} % removes running headers

Removing "Manuscript submitted to ACM": add \fancyfoot{} in the preamble and \thispagestyle{empty} after \maketitle

Removing DOI information only: Using the command \acmDOI{} to set the DOI to an empty string has only a limited effect: In the ACM reference format and in the copyright notice the prefix https://doi.org/ still remains. Only when using the class option authorversion, this prefix will vanish in the footnote, but will still be part of the ACM reference. (Imho this is a bug.) Here is a hack to get rid of this prefix (and of any DOI that has been set).

Add the lines

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@formatdoi[1]{\ignorespaces}
\makeatother

after the \documentclass line. This will remove the DOI line in the ACM reference format completely (including the line break). The conference information in the footnote will still retain the line break, which leads to a small extra vertical space. To avoid this, suppress the complete copyright notice by \renewcommand\footnotetextcopyrightpermission[1]{} (see above), or redefine \footnotetextcopyrightpermission in a more sophisticated way by just removing the \@formatdoi command with the preceding \\ from the original definition (see the class file).
