Homework Statement


Hi! I am trying to figure out how to create a small square after a proof of some theorem or definition (normally all mathematical proofs are finished by adding a small sguare at the end of it) how do I fix it? It is normally placed on the right side..

Oh I found it
\begin{proof}
\end{proof}

but I have one more question. Can we change the word ''proof' somehow into a different language? We still want to have proof but expressed in different language, does anyone know how to change?

I believe the proof environment requires the amsmath package, so somewhere in the package files is coded the word "proof" and the \qed command that makes the box and all the formatting needed to make the environment. If you can find this (I couldn't, after a few minutes of searching, but I'm not familiar with the details of package files), you should be able to change the file.
