I'm writing a document in Swedish, and appendices are then called 'bilaga' which is a translation of 'appendix' not widely used in my field. Hence, I'd like the title in appendix A to read 'Appendix A' and not 'Bilaga A'. I've tried using \renewcommand\appendixname{Appendix} but it changes nothing. The toc is fine as it is - doesn't use the word Appendix or Bilaga at all, just A, B and so on.
EDIT: Don't know what a MWE is, but here are pieces of my latex code that I think may be relevant:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,fleqn,twoside,openright]{report}
\usepackage[swedish]{babel}
%...{lots of other stuff related to figures and page layout}
\usepackage{appendix}
\renewcommand\appendixname{Appendix}
\begin{document}
\chapter{oneone}
bla1 bla1
\chapter{twotwo}
bla
\appendix
\chapter{titel first appendix}
appendix text
\end{document}
\addto\captionsswedish{\renewcommand\appendixname{Appendix}}– Dec 29 '16 at 21:39\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\appendixname}{Appendix}}should work too. – Dec 29 '16 at 21:50\renewcommand{\appendixname}{foo}, but the trick is to also add\addto\captionsswedish{}. That is completely not mentioned in your link. – Jan Dec 29 '16 at 21:53spanishtoswedishin the answer by Gonzalo to the linked question. – egreg Dec 29 '16 at 22:06bilagaisAppendixin Swedish ;-) It resembles GermanBeilagestrikingly – Dec 29 '16 at 22:19
