How change the name of Main Titles
I been writing my thesis in SWP, but this document must be writed in spanish, so I was select the package of bable->spanish, but that doesn't works. I want to make that the main titles (Table of Contents, Chapter, Part, Table of Figures) appears in Spanish (Indice, Capìtulo, Parte, Tabla de Imágenes) but the package only change "Part".
¿Do you know how I can put the right package for this?
If this is not posible, I must change tha main titles as I said before. Please tell how I can do that.
In advance, many thanks.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

How change the name of Main Titles
use
Code: Select all
\addto\captionsspanish{\renewcommand\contentsname{Indice}}
if you use babel and Spanish, or if not:
Code: Select all
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Indice}
Re: How change the name of Main Titles
I put it that codes on my document with Text Field but doesn't works. But I think that maybe is posible change the main titles by appart. I been used a prefabricated thesis available on SWP from University of Washington.
I wonder to change tha main titles as follow:
TABLE OF CONTENTS -> INDICE
LIST OF FIGURES -> LISTADO DE FIGURAS
LIST OF TABLES -> LISTADO DE CUADROS
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -> AGRADECIMIENTOS
DEDICATION -> DEDICATORIA
CHAPTER 1...N -> CAPÍTULO 1...N
In advance, many thanks.

Re: How change the name of Main Titles
perhaps post that template here. I guess there aren't so many SWP users here, since SWP is not freely available. If I would own SWP software, I would also provide support for it. At the moment, I can offer help regarding just TeX, LaTeX and further free software.

Well, yes, I see that forum and that answer isn't work for me. But, this is the answer that I been used:
\textofDed{Dedicaticatoria}
\textofAck{Agradecimientos}
\textofToC{Indice}
\textofLoF{Listado de Figuras}
\textofLoT{Listado de Cuadros}
\textofChapter{Cap\'{i}tulo}
