Change "Figure" by another word in caption text

Question

I'm preparing a beamer presentation and I have this part of code

\begin{center}
        \begin{figure}
            \includegraphics[width=6cm]{img1.png}
            \caption[Figura 1]{O Círculo Osculador de $\alpha$ em $s$.}
        \end{figure}
    \end{center}

that generates this

I would like to know how to change the word "Figure" in "Figure 1" by another word because I would like to put the translation of "Figure" to my language in the beamer presentation.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried \renewcommand{\figurename}{Figura} ? (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/17489/change-caption-name-of-figures) — Damien Dtx, Dec 01 '17 at 10:58
Use \usepackage[???]{babel} to load some language. Replace ??? by the language, for example, portuguese. — Sigur, Dec 01 '17 at 11:01
Also, you don't need to use center, just use \begin{figure}\centering. — Sigur, Dec 01 '17 at 11:02
@George, it should work. See below. Maybe you have to install the language (or try with brazil instead). — Sigur, Dec 01 '17 at 11:07
Since your figure has number, I guess you are using some command to change \figurename behavior. — Sigur, Dec 01 '17 at 11:09

babel is the right package to translate variables to some language.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{figure}%
    \centering%
    \includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image-a}%
    \caption{text}
    \label{fig.A}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

thanks! I realized that the babel package was in English language, I just change to Portuguese language and works without put the label command and the renewcommand suggested by DamienDtx. – George Dec 01 '17 at 11:12
\label{fig.a} has nothing to do with language, it is just to refer to the image with \ref{fig.a}, which of course have no sense if figure has no number. – Sigur Dec 01 '17 at 11:15

I usually do that so I don't have to use packages

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Εικόνα}
