French translation for table caption prefix discrepance with LaTeX Babel

[vihuna]

From LaTeX babel-french package, it seems they use Table as translation:

\SetString{\tablename}{Table}

But in LaTeX.css lang/fr.css Tableau is the word used for French translation:

:lang(fr) caption::before { content: 'Tableau ' counter(caption) '. ' !important; }

I don't speak French, so I can't say more about this.

And the package polyglossia uses ´\def\tablename{\textsc{Tab.}}%´ (https://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/CTAN/macros/unicodetex/latex/polyglossia/polyglossia.dtx) Le lun. 16 sept. 2024 à 17:43, vihuna ***@***.***> a écrit : From LaTeX babel-french package, it seems they use Table as translation: \SetString{\tablename}{Table} But in LaTeX.css lang/fr.css Tableau is the word used for French translation: :lang(fr) caption::before { content: 'Tableau ' counter(caption) '.

I have searched in the web and I can confirm the use of the word "Tableau" in various LaTeX articles (PDF, no the source). But that raises some questions for me, about the "uniformity" of caption titles.

Thanks @anakojm, I always forget polyglossia package; it seems it uses an abbreviation. I remember some English specialized article templates also using abbreviations for figures (Elsevier, I think).

As a French speaker, I think that both "table" and "tableau" are fine. To maintain consistency with the babel-french package, I have changed it to "Table" in cb583a0. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
