-<h3>Changing the words <i>babel</i> uses</h3>
-<p/>LaTeX uses symbolic names for many of the automatically-generated
-text it produces (special-purpose section headings, captions, etc.).
-As noted in <a href="FAQ-fixnam.html">&ldquo;\LaTeX fixed names&rdquo;</a> (which
-includes a list of the names themselves),
-this enables the user to change the
-names used by the standard classes, which is particularly useful if
-the document is being prepared in some language other than LaTeX&rsquo;s
-default English. So, for example, a Danish author may wish that her
-table of contents was called &ldquo;Indholdsfortegnelse&rdquo;, and so
-would expect to place a command
-<pre>
-\renewcommand{\contentsname}%
- {Indholdsfortegnelse}
-</pre>
-in the preamble of her document.
-<p/>However, it&rsquo;s natural for a user of a non-English language to use
-<i>babel</i>, because it offers many conveniences and typesetting
-niceties for those preparing documents in those languages. In
-particular, when <i>babel</i> is selecting a new language, it
-ensures that LaTeX&rsquo;s symbolic names are translated appropriately
-for the language in question. Unfortunately, <i>babel</i>&rsquo;s choice
-of names isn&rsquo;t always to everyone&rsquo;s choice, and there is still a need
-for a mechanism to replace the &lsquo;standard&rsquo; names.
-<p/>Whenever a new language is selected, <i>babel</i> resets all the
-names to the settings for that language. In particular,
-<i>babel</i> selects the document&rsquo;s main language when
-<code>\</code><code>begin{document}</code> is executed, which immediately destroys
-any changes to these symbolic names made in the prologue of a document
-that uses <i>babel</i>.
-<p/>Therefore, babel defines a command to enable users to change the
-definitions of the symbolic names, on a per-language basis:
-<code>\</code><code>addto</code><code>\</code><code>captions</code><code>&lt;<i>language</i>&gt;</code> is the thing
-(<code>&lt;<i>language</i>&gt;</code> being the language option you gave to
-<i>babel</i> in the first place). For example:
-<pre>
-\addto\captionsdanish{%
- \renewcommand{\contentsname}%
- {Indholdsfortegnelse}%
-}
-</pre>
