When I create a chapter like below, I get Chapter 1 for example.
\chapter{My Chapter Title}
But my document is in Turkish so I need to display Bölüm 1 instead. This is also happening for Table of Contents.
How can I override this?

@percusse I am kind of a newbie on LaTex. Sometimes I don't even know what to search so that's the reason, sorry. – tugberk Oct 20 '11 at 10:59

You might want to try \usepackage[turkish]{babel} to set the language of the document.
borrowed from egreg: \addtoextrasturkish{\renewcommand{\contentsname}{WHATEVER}} if you are trying to add any other word.

worked like a charm. thanks! But is there any way that I can be more specific. For example, what if I would like to display Contentssss instead of Contents? – tugberk Oct 20 '11 at 10:57

5@tugberk With babel for Turkish you get İçindekiler as the title of the table of contents, which I guess is the right word. If you want to change it, say
\addtoextrasturkish{\renewcommand{\contentsname}{WHATEVER}}in your preamble. Andy may want to add this to his answer. – egreg Oct 20 '11 at 11:03 -
@egreg cool. addtoextrasturkish comment belongs to babel package I guess, does it? – tugberk Oct 20 '11 at 11:11

@tugberk Yes, it does. Besides getting the right key words, you get also correct hyphenation. – egreg Oct 20 '11 at 11:22

@egreg I think the last added command should be
\addto\extrasturkish{\renewcommand{\contentsname}{WHATEVER}}. Note the extra . – Kartal Tabak Mar 16 '17 at 20:06
