Changing the definition of “mod” in spanish impossible?

I'm writing a math text in spanish and want to change the definition of the "mod" command. However, this seems impossible, as the following MWE shows:

documentclass{article}



usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{amsmath}



renewcommand{mod}{operatorname{changed}}



begin{document}

$a equiv b mod c$

end{document}

This produces the following output:

enter image description here

However, if I comment the line

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

in the above code, the result I get is

enter image description here

as I would expect.

The same phenomenon happens with other math operators that carry accents in spanish, like for example "max" or "lim", but it works for such that don't have accents, like "sin".

Is your aim to avoid the accent in the operator names?

I guess that your aim is to use the standard unaccented operator names.

The trick is explained it the manual for babel-spanish, section 5.5.

documentclass{article}



usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

usepackage{amsmath}



% no accents in math operators

unaccentedoperators



begin{document}



$a equiv b mod{c}$



$lim_{xto c}f(x)$



$arcsin t$



$max A-min A$



end{document}

enter image description here

Beware that mod is not defined with operatorname and your proposed redefinition would be bad anyway.

Anyway, here's a correct way to proceed:

documentclass{article}



usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[spanish]{babel}

usepackage{amsmath}



%unaccentedoperators



makeatletter

addtomathspanish{renewcommand{mod}{operatorname{mes@op@ac od}}}

makeatother



begin{document}



$a equiv b mod c$



end{document}

enter image description here

If you don't want the accent irrespective of accentedoperators or unaccentedoperators, remove the es@op@ac command.

In general, I don't recommend redefining some standard command to do different things (apart from printing just a different symbol). Better defining omod or whatever name you prefer.

Actually I do want to use the accented versions because they seem to be quite standard in spanish math texts, and I do want mod to behave like an operator (as this fits my mathematical needs better). For the same reason I want to redefine lim to denote categorical limits instead of analytic ones, so in any case this wouldn't solve my issue.

@MichaelFütterer I added a different version. I'm not sure where categorical limit notation is different from analytic notation.
