I just double checked that here it outputs
\listof{algorithm}{Liste des Algorithmes}

customize strings going to the output. As this is already possible for


\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Contents of this document}
\renewcommand{\listfigurename}{Figures}
\renewcommand{\listtablename}{Tables}
...


is already generated where needed. What do you think of this?

Just one last word on this ;) I think it would be more convenient to keep the LaTeX convention with a '\listXXXname' command (with XXX being the float name) instead of using directly a translated name. That's because one could want to \tableofcontents, \listoftables and \listoffigures (see below), one would appreciate to find the same logic for algorithms as well as for custom floats. Locale strings for such commands ("List of Algorithms" for '\listalgorithmname', etc.) could then be defined in the preamble, in the same place as new floats definitions, and LyX could thus translate as currently (but not in the same place), allowing customization. It would need very few programming as some code

I'm waiting for your comments.

Mael.

I attached a patch for that. It adds some definitions for '\listXXXname' and '\listofXXXs' in the preamble (with 'XXX' for every non builtin float), and generates a '\listofXXXs' in place of the '\listof{XXX}{<List name>}'.
