How to redefine Section and Subsection in autoref names

Welcome to the forum,

can you provide a minimal working example for us? We don't have to type a simple document and can start testing and working on a solution right away.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

How to redefine Section and Subsection in autoref names

I solved it.

I had to change the default names of Babel package, in this case, the brazilian captions:

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsbrazil{
\renewcommand{\chapterautorefname}{Seção}
\renewcommand{\sectionautorefname}{Seção}
\renewcommand{\subsectionautorefname}{Seção}
}
So, the Chapter, Section and Subsection Autoref names were changed to "Seção" names.
