[Jean-Christophe Helary]

What is the parameter to change the default "Contents" ToC string when exporting to PDF ?

If I'm not wrong, I think there is no native Org way to change the
default string for LaTeX literals. But if you use babel (the LaTeX
package), you can add this command:

#+LaTeX_Header: \addto{\captionsenglish}{\renewcommand\contentsname{foo}}

That's the old way of doing it, and it still works. The latest Babel
versions also incorporate this other variant:

\setlocalecaption{language-name}{caption-name}{string}

for example:

\setlocalecaption{english}{contents}{Table of Contents}

NB: I strongly recommend using babel always for LaTeX, in any of its
flavors (pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX), instead of polyglossia, which is
a very buggy package. This package came up when babel didn't support
XeTeX and LuaTeX, years ago, but now it doesn't sense to use it.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Thank you Juan.

It does not seem to work as I expected, but that's OK, I just removed the ToC.
