How to change the name of document elements like “Figure”, “Contents”, “Bibliography” etc.?

Consider the following MWE (it actually works :P):

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,oneside]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage[nonumberlist]{glossaries}

\newglossarystyle{dico3}{%
\renewcommand*{\glossaryname}{Dico}%
\renewenvironment{theglossary}%
{\begin{longtable}{lll}}%
{\end{longtable}}%
\renewcommand*{\glossaryheader}{%
\bfseries English & \bfseries Deutsch & \bfseries Français \\\endhead}%
\renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[2]{%
\glstarget{##1}{##2} & \glsentryuseri{##1} & \glsentryuserii{##1} \\}%
}

\glossarystyle{dico3}
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}
\newglossaryentry{stg}{name=whatchacallit, description={\nopostdesc}, user1={Dingsbums, das}, user2={trucmuche, le}}
\glsaddall
\printglossary%[title=Dico] - UNCOMMENT THIS!
\end{document}

As you can see, I am building a simple trilingual dictionary.

What puzzles me is that everything is fine, except that I need to uncomment the option [title=Dico] in the penultimate line to customize the title of my dictionary, although I used \renewcommand*{\glossaryname}{Dico} in the definition of my custom style. I don't get errors or warnings, neither from PDFLaTeX, nor from MakeIndex. Can anybody explain why this is happening?

  • With \usepackage[english]{babel}, you have to use \addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand*{\glossaryname}{Dico}}. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82993/how-to-change-the-name-of-document-elements-like-figure-contents-bibliogr – lockstep Dec 04 '12 at 18:28
