The babel ldf files do not contain translations for Theorem like environment,
so you'll have to add those yourself.
For example, put the following lines in your preamble:
\addto\captionsamerican{
\def\theoremname{Theorem}
\def\corollaryname{Corollary}
...
}
\addto\captionsamerican{
\def\theoremname{Theorem?}
...
}
Now, you need to define the Theorem environments:
\newtheorem{theorem}{\theoremname}[section]
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{\corollaryname}
...
However, if your document class already defines these environments, you will
need to redefine them, so instead of the lines above you need to put
\def\renewtheorem#1{%
\@ifundefined{#1}%
{\@latex@error{Theorem #1 undefined}\@ehc
}\relax
\expandafter\let\csname#1\endcsname\relax
\newtheorem{#1}
}
\renewtheorem{theorem}{\theoremname}[section]
\renewtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{\corollaryname}
...
Of course, putting all of the above in the preamble for each file is tedious.
A better way is to prepare a germantheorem.sty file containing all of the
commands above, and just put '\usepackage{germantheorem}' in the preamble of
each file.
