I'm writing a thesis in english but I have to insert some abstracts in Italian (my native language). In particular I have to write an introduction of each chapter in Italian. I mean

Chapter 1 (in Italian)

Chapter 1 (in English)

Is there a way to do that? I've been trying many workaround and googling but nothing is helping me.

If I try with the otherlanguage tag latex creates two separate chapters, and if I use * I don't have the word 'Chapter' (in Italian) in my thesis.

  • Can you be clearer about your aim? The chapter header is to be repeated twice in the same page or do you want separate pages?

If I have understood your question correctly, what you want to do is use the \chapter{name here} command twice, but get the same chapter number for each?

In that case, you can insert the command \addtocounter{chapter}{-1} right before the second \chapter{ } to reduce the value of LaTeX's internal chapter counter and it should give you the same number for both chapters.

    Yes, that's my idea. But the next issue is the contents section, I don't wanna see two chapters 1 there and if I add * latex deletes the 'Chapter 1' part from the chapter.
