Pagedown: Change "Figure" to other languages in "Fig.cap'

[beatrizmilz]

Hello!
I'm using the thesis_paged layout.
I have been tying to change the word "Figure" in the figure caption to portuguese, and tried some suggetions that works in bookdown, but i was not able to figure it out how to do this with pagedown.

Ex: this example is part of the thesis template.

`````

  pagedown::thesis_paged:

  number_sections: yes

uncomment this line to produce HTML and PDF in RStudio:

#knit: pagedown::chrome_print

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE,
fig.align = 'center')

## Second level heading

Here is some code and a plot, with a figure caption, Figure \@ref(fig:code):

```{r code, fig.cap='The automatic numbering of this figure will only work if it includes a figure caption, user beware!'}
plot(iris$Sepal.Length,
     iris$Sepal.Width,
     col = iris$Species,
     pch = 19)

```{r, include=FALSE}
knitr::write_bib(c('knitr', 'rmarkdown', 'xaringan'), 'packages.bib')

`````

**I would like to know if it's possible to change "Figure" to "Figura", and if it's possible, how can I do this.**

Hi @beatrizmilz,

pagedown::thesis_paged() inherits bookdown's internationalization feature.
You need to create a _bookdown.yml file located in the same folder as your thesis Rmd file.

This YAML file should change _Figure_ into _Figura_:

language:
  label:
    fig: 'Figura '

Does it work with your configuration?

[beatrizmilz]

It worked!

Thank you so much @RLesur !

Hi, @RLesur

Does the same work with pagedown::html_paged?

Thank you all for the great package!

I think so as thesis_paged use html_paged which base format is bookdown::html_document2. Did you try already ?
