References section in spanish without babel package

Question

I am working on a document and when using the package \usepackage[spanish]{babel} I get a lot of errors and warnings. If I don't use it everything is fine. The problem is that the references section is in English "References", when I need it to say "Referencias".

Is there any way to just change the name of that section?

The way I place my references is:

\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{Bibliography}

For example, in this simple code the word references is already in English.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\cite{ANoteGI}
\lipsum[45]
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{Bibliografia}
\end{document}

Which gives:

I want this but without usin babel:

You have to provide more information, e. g. document class. Ideally, provide a complete (but minimal) code. — Dr. Manuel Kuehner, Nov 07 '21 at 01:00
Are you using \documentclass{article} or \documentclass{IEEEtran} in your actual document? — Dr. Manuel Kuehner, Nov 07 '21 at 01:11
So, the real problem here is you are getting a lot of errors with spanish (please, note warnings are not errors). Try with \usepackage[spanish, es-sloppy]{babel} or \usepackage[spanish, es-minimal]{babel}. — Javier Bezos, Nov 07 '21 at 07:44

A wild guess based on David's answer in Lyx IEEE Transactions Figure Label Nonstandard.
I had a look at IEEEtran.cls, see https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/.
Write \def\refname{Referencias} before \begin{document}.
