table of contents rename

Question

I read: I cannot rename table of contents Renaming the Table of Contents doesn't work! Renaming table of content to something else

But I didn't find the right answer.

I would like to modify the default text generated by the command

\tableofcontents

Someone has the solutions ?

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Jan 08 '22 at 19:51

I found the answer:

\addto\captionsfrench{% Replace "french" with the language you use
    \renewcommand{\contentsname}%
    {Liste des pièces}%
}

I know that I am a GOM (Grumpy Old Man) but at my time of life that is par for the course. I think that the generic answer to the question as asked is:

The standard LaTeX classes (and many others) use \contentsname, \listfigurename and \listtablename as the titles of the ToC, LoF and LoT repectively. Hence just redefine \contentsname.

% tocnameprob.tex SE 629526
\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Liste des pi`{e}ces}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{First}
\end{document}

Note that the question made no mention of French.
