General ⇒ babel | Changing ToC Name fails

[lhrooh]

Hi,

I'm doing my masters thesis, and I'm using this template (made on my University in Portugal):

http://code.google.com/p/thesisdifct...7.zip&can=2&q=

But I need to change the name of the Table of Contents. It uses babel, so I tried

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsportuges{%
  \renewcommand{\contentsname}%
  {Indice de Materias}%
}

But this doesn't change anything. Can anybody help me? (cause I'm getting desperate, and I'm a novice using LaTeX)

Thanks

Diana

What happens if you just put \renewcommand{\contentsname}{blah} in the preamble (without the enclosing command you used, which seems like it is made for captions or something)?

It might take a couple of runs of LaTeX to update the name, by the way---the table of contents is read in as a separate file, which is created only after LaTeX runs the first time.

By just putting \renewcommand{\contentsname}{blah} it doesn't change anything. So i solved the problem this way:

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsportuguese{\renewcommand\contentsname{Rename}}

and it was updated at the first run.

Thanks
