In Lyx, how to change "Part I" with some other text

TeX - LaTeX Asked on June 7, 2021

I’m using the article class. When creating a new part, I would like to change “Part 1” to “Experiment 1”, “Part 2” to “Experiment 2” and so on, followed by my part title. How can I do that?

I’ve found this question, but the answers didn’t work for me
In Lyx, how to change the "Part" section to "Chapter"?

Thank you! 🙂

Edit:
This is my preamble:

usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
date{}
usepackage{fancyhdr}
usepackage{titlesec}
setlength{headheight}{15.2pt}
pagestyle{fancy}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt}
renewcommand{footrulewidth}{0pt}
lhead[]{}
rhead[]{}
lhead[]{}
rhead[]{}
lfoot[thepage]{}
rfoot[]{thepage}
renewcommand{partname}{Experiment}%added later

EDIT:
The renewcommand{partname}{Experiment} line works fine with the language set to English, but i need to make this work in other languages, because now if I add the toc it’s called “Contents”, while I need an italian “Indice”.

Edit:
self-answer (for all who may find this helpful): use renewcommandcontentsname{Indice} to change “Content” to “Indice” or whatever.

LyX just provides an interface (or front end) to LaTeX. So, while you may see

Part I  Some text

as your title inside the editor view, the LaTeX code associated with it

part{Some text}

will output

Experiment I  Some text

if you add

renewcommand{partname}{Experiment}

to your preamble (Document > Settings... > LaTeX Preamble). If you wish to change this in the editor as well (so the visual matches the PDF output), you need to edit the stdsections.inc layout file; specifically the part style:

Style Part
  Category               Section
  Margin                 Dynamic
  LabelString            "Part thepart"
  LabelType              Counter
  ...

You would have to update LabelString to read "Experiment thepart" instead.

You need to change the babel settings for your language, in your case is italian so an example is:

addtocaptionsitalian{% renewcommand{partname}% {Volume}% }
