In LaTeX, *.cls is called a document class, not a style sheet.

The babel package re-defines the definitions in IEEEtran.cls. Either disable
babel (why can't this be done on a per-document basis???) or
insert the following excerpt from IEEEtran.cls as ERT::
% Redefine string definitions overwritten by babel (maybe not all are used)
\def\contentsname{Contents}
\def\listfigurename{List of Figures}
\def\listtablename{List of Tables}
\def\refname{References}
\def\indexname{Index}
\def\figurename{Fig.}
\def\tablename{TABLE}
\def\partname{Part}
\def\appendixname{Appendix}
\def\abstractname{Abstract}
(Thanks for highlighting the problem, I did not recognize it affected also
my manuscript.)
I suppose the IEEEtran.layout documentation/template should mention the
fact and provide a workaround.
