\begin{document}
The expansion of fixed document element names
depends on the language; e.g., in English
we have ``\refname'' or ``\chaptername''.  \par
\selectlanguage{german} Auf Deutsch ergibt sich
"`\refname"' oder "`\chaptername"'.        \par
\begin{otherlanguage}{french} Voici en franÃ§ais:
 \og\refname\fg{} ou \og\chaptername\fg.
 \par\foreignlanguage{english}{However, in short
 phrases ``\refname'' does not change by default!}
\end{otherlanguage}
