How to use the translator package with beamer?

Question

I'd like to have my headers like Theorem, Definition etc. in a beamer presentation translated to Polish. After skimming through the last pages of beamer user guide, I tried \usepackage[polish]{translator}, but it resulted in "Option clash for package translator". Any ideas what I can do?

Answer 1

You need to put your language option amongst the class options where both babel and the translator package (implicitly loaded by beamer) can see it:

\documentclass[polish]{beamer}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
  \begin{theorem}[Theorem]

  \end{theorem}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

An alternative for your implicit question "How do I pass options to a package that I don't load myself" is to use \PassOptionsToPackage:

\PassOptionsToPackage{polish}{translator}
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[polish]{babel}
