How to translate the automatic words such as: table, figure, appendix, reference, etc

Question

I'm using the template MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute - http://www.mdpi.com/authors/latex) and I'm writing the article in Portuguese, how can I translate the automatic words such as: table, figure, appendix, references, etc.?

\documentclass[journal,article,submit,moreauthors,pdftex,10pt,a4paper,brazil]{mdpi} 

\usepackage[brazil,USenglish]{babel}


\abstract{...}

\keyword{...}


\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tabela}

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figura}

\renewcommand{\appendixname}{Apêndice}

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Resumo}
.
.
.
\abbreviations{}

\externalbibliography{yes}

\bibliography{mybib}

\appendix

\end{document}

The renewcommand works for the tables, figures and appendix, but didn't work in the case of the abstract, keywords, abbreviations and references.

Did you try something like \usepackage[spanish]{babel} inside your preambel? — epR8GaYuh, Jun 13 '17 at 15:14
Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us (and also you) and add a minimal working example (MWE), that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document}. — Bobyandbob, Jun 13 '17 at 15:36

I wonder if you really need writing in Portuguese, though, because it seems MDPI only publishes in English, or if you just want to achieve/adapt/use the look-and-feel of those classes, which isn't that great anyway. — , Jun 17 '17 at 21:48
So you want to get something that looks like a pulished article, but isn't? Really, not a great idea. — Johannes_B, Jun 18 '17 at 06:12

You can try changing the order of the babel package:

\usepackage[USenglish,brazil]{babel}

babel uses the last language as its default.
