10. FLOATS AND CAPTIONSdocument. If you do not do this, then the ‘List of. . . ’ captions will come out in the wrongorder (the lists are ordered according the page number in the typeset document, not yoursource input order).10.8 BILINGUAL CAPTIONSSome documents require bilingual (or more) captions. The class provides a set of commandsfor bilingual captions. Extensions to the set, perhaps to support trilingual captioning,are left as an exercise for the document author. Essentially, the bilingual commandscall the \caption command twice, once for each language.Several commands for bilingual captions are provided. They all produce the sameappearance in the text but differ in what they put into the ‘List of. . . ’.\bitwonumcaption[〈label〉]{〈short1〉}{〈long1〉}%{〈NAME〉}{〈short2〉}{〈long2〉}\bionenumcaption[〈label〉]{〈short1〉}{〈long1〉}%{〈NAME〉}{〈short2〉}{〈long2〉}Bilingual captions can be typeset by the \bitwonumcaption command which has sixarguments. The first, optional argument 〈label〉, is the name of a label, if required. 〈short1〉and 〈long1〉 are the short (i.e., equivalent to the optional argument to the \caption command)and long caption texts for the main language of the document. The value of the〈NAME〉 argument is used as the caption name for the second language caption, while〈short2〉 and 〈long2〉 are the short and long caption texts for the second language. For example,if the main and secondary languages are English and German and a figure is beingcaptioned:\bitwonumcaption{Short}{Long}{Bild}{Kurz}{Lang}If the short title text(s) is not required, then leave the appropriate argument(s) either emptyor as one or more spaces, like:\bitwonumcaption[fig:bi1]{}{Long}{Bild}{ }{Lang}Both language texts are entered into the appropriate ‘List of. . . ’, and both texts are numbered.Figure 10.16, typeset from the following code, is an example.\begin{figure}\centeringEXAMPLE FIGURE WITH BITWONUMCAPTION\bitwonumcaption[fig:bi1]%{}{Long \cs{bitwonumcaption}}%{Bild}{ }{Lang \cs{bitwonumcaption}}\end{figure}Both \bionenumcaption and \bitwonumcaption take the same arguments. The differencebetween the two commands is that \bionenumcaption does not number the secondlanguage text in the ‘List of. . . ’. Figure 10.17, typeset from the following, is an exampleof this.\begin{figure}\centering192
