General ⇒ How to change the 'tabular-foot' legend

[ruski]

Dear all,
I have the following problem. I introduce, for instance, the table:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
\begin{table}
 \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline
  EQ & I & B & EX & I & B  \\ \hline
  1 & -0.18 & 0.07 & 1 & 0.72 & 0.21 \\ \hline
  2 & -5.11 & -0.17 & 2 & 0.73 & 0.21 \\ \hline
  3 & -0.36 & 0.07 & 3 & 0.51 & 0.15 \\ \hline
 \end{tabular}
 \caption{Valores de I}\label{tab1}
\end{table}

In the document, I would like to obtain under the table "Tabla 1: Valores de I" and I obtain "Cuadro 1: Valores de I".

So, my question is: How could I change the predefined generic name for the tables from "Cuadro" to "Tabla".

Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Ruski

I suppose you are using spanish option of the babel package, so you are getting Cuadro for the table name. In the manual for the spanish style http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/languag ... panish.pdf in section 3.1 is said that you must change the command for spanish \spanishtablename. So you must add the command \renewcommand{\spanishtablename}{Tabla}

Build a minimal working example (MWE) that let us see how you set up your document and explain which language you want to use.

Dear friends,

Thanks a lot for your answers. Sorry for my incomplete explanation of the problem.

In fact, I am using the spanish option of the babel package.
However I have introduced the command

\renewcommand{\spanishtablename}{Tabla}

after the command \usepackage[spanish]{babel} and it doesn't change. My tables are still with "Cuadro".

I tried as well to introduce in the package option
\usepackage[spanish,es-tabla]{babel} without result.

Do you find any razon for the failure?

Best regards,
Ruski

Changing names when using babel works slightly different. The manual explains that in detail. In the following example you can see how to it works.

All other possible modifications (\figurename, \listfigurename, ...) go into the according list. Another package for aligning decimal values in tables is dcolumn.

Dear friends,

Now It works perfectly.

I had spent several hours to change this word (terribly frustrating).

So thank you wholeheartedly!

Best Regards,

Ruski
