Change LaTeX caption language

caption, latex

Solution

You can redefine `\figurename` and `\tablename` by using `\renewcommand`. For example, you can do this for Swedish:

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figur}
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tabell}

Problem

How could I change the default language so that I get something else instead of "Table" or "Figure" before my captions?
