    I would like to write a document in Malay language using LaTeX. The problems here are how to change Figure/Table to Malay language.

    Table = Jadual (Malay)
    Figure = Rajah (Malay)

      @mzaini: To change a command, you could use the \renewcommand{}{}.

      Change Figure to Rajah:
      \renewcommand{\figurename}{Rajah}

      Change Table to Jadual:
      \renewcommand{\tablename}{Jadual}
