I started to apply the Lista => Índice change, then saw that there are a lot more Lista in po_PT.po (e.g. "Lista de Figuras" for "List of Figures"), and that reminded me that the list of tables and list of figures are standard babel terms, so I looked up how they are translated in portuges.ldf. portuges.ldf uses Lista both for portuguese and brazialian portuguese. I also looked in spanish.ldf, and here it uses Índice, which we do in our own spanish translations as well. Therefore I changed my mind and think we should be consistent with babel, unless we get a second opinion from a native speaker. Then I wanted to change Agradeciento to Agradecientos, and saw there are many more occurences in pt_PT.po for this term as well. It is consistently translated to Agradeciento for the cases where the english term is singular, and to Agradecientos where the english term is plural. Therefore I think that the translators use these terms on purpose, and don't dare to change it. Also google translate suggests Agradeciento (I know that it can be wrong, it is just a hint). > Yes please apply them (although not the Tableau one).

If you agree with what I wrote above (i.e. we don't change Lista to Índice and Agradeciento to Agradecientos, then we are ready now. Georg
