[Tex/LaTex] Rename algorithm caption

algorithms

How to rename algorithm caption name from Algorithm to some name. This is my code:

\documentclass[oneside,a4paper  , 12 pt, titlepage]{book}


\usepackage{algorithmicx}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{algcompatible}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}

\renewcommand*{\ALG@name}{Algoritma}


\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}[h!]
\caption{Algoritma direct search}\label{direct search}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\Procedure{Direct-Search}{$G$}
\For{$i \gets  1,\, G.length$}
    \For {$j \gets 1, \, i- 1$}
        \State  $r \gets  \Call {distance}{G_i ,G_j} $
        \If {$r \le treshoold $ }
            \State  $ \Call{calculate-interaction}{G_i,G_j}$
        \EndIf 
    \EndFor 
\EndFor
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}

and my error:

Missing \begin{document}. \renewcommand*{\ALG@name}

Best Answer

Since your redefinition has the @ character, you need \makeatletter, \makeatother:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\ALG@name}{Algoritma}
\makeatother

The code:

\documentclass[oneside,a4paper  , 12 pt, titlepage]{book}
\usepackage{algorithmicx}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{algcompatible}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\ALG@name}{Algoritma}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Algoritma direct search}\label{direct search}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\Procedure{Direct-Search}{$G$}
\For{$i \gets  1,\, G.length$}
    \For {$j \gets 1, \, i- 1$}
        \State  $r \gets  \Call {distance}{G_i ,G_j} $
        \If {$r \le treshoold $ }
            \State  $ \Call{calculate-interaction}{G_i,G_j}$
        \EndIf 
    \EndFor 
\EndFor
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}

I'd suggest you not to use such a restrictive placement option as [!h].

Solution

Do not mix lst: with Algorithm floats. The previous solution used \newcommand{\algorithmname}{Listing}, but this could result in LaTeX Error: Command \algorithmname already defined. Instead, apply the following changes:

Rename lst: to alg:.

Change the preamble to:

\usepackage{float}
\floatname{algorithm}{Listing}
\renewcommand{\algorithmname}{Listing}

This does not change the "List of Algorithms" to "List of Listings". The text is found in "stdfloats.inc":

Float
    Type                  algorithm
    GuiName               Algorithm
    Placement             tbp
    Extension             loa
    NumberWithin          none
    Style                 ruled
    ListName              "List of Algorithms"
    LaTeXBuiltin          false
End

The improper way to fix this is:

Edit stdfloats.inc.
Change "List of Algorithms" to "List of Listings".
Click Tools >> Reconfigure.
Restart LyX.

At this point, "List of Algorithms" will read "List of Listings".

[Tex/LaTex] Translate “Algorithm” in the caption

You have to modify \ALG@name in order to get the appropriate translation:

enter image description here

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{algorithm}% http://ctan.org/pkg/algorithms
\usepackage{algorithmic}% http://ctan.org/pkg/algorithms
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\ALG@name}{AlGoRiThM}
\renewcommand{\listalgorithmname}{List of \ALG@name s}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\listofalgorithms
\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Funkcija ACO}
\label{alg:aco}  
\begin{algorithmic} 
  \STATE{do something}  
\end{algorithmic}  
\end{algorithm} 
\end{document}

You may also consider using the more advanced algorithmicx bundle.
