Latex document in english, but list of figure is in german

[Marc]

Dear,
I write my complete latex document in english, so I use the \usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}. Everything looks fine, without my List of Figures. The headline "List Of Figures" is also in english, but before my name from the figure, there stand the Figure number and these one in in german.
For example:
List of Figure

Abbildung 1.1: name of my figure

How can I get the figure number in english?


Kind regards
Marc

Sorry, do you really think somebody can infer from your information
how you produced this effect? Make a minimal example that
demonstrates the problem.

This should perhaps have been done by english.ldf,
but you can do it yourself:
\addto\captionsenglish{\def\figurename{Figure}}
\selectlanguage{english}

Caveat: not tested.

Dear all,

I am so sorry, that I hadn't show you an example of my latex document. But I am very thankful for your help. I just found my problem, it was in my configs. I used the command \renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{Abbildung}
and I have to change it to
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{Figure }.

I am so sorry, that I wasted your time.

Have a nice weekend
