General ⇒ changing the \contentsname

[adhikarig]

Hi

I am writing a class file for my thesis using book class. when i rename the \contentsname to Table of Contents using \renewcommand inside the class file, no change is observed. but it does change when i use the same command in my tex file just above \tableofcontents. Is it possible to write inside the class file or i have to write inside the tex file.

thanks

Hi gopal,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
Do you use babel? Then it should work with the \addto command, see Changing the words babel uses in the UK TeX FAQ.
