Translation of figure and captions in Framemaker 9

Hello, I have a problem. I translated a Framemaker 9 book with Wordfast from English into Spanish. Everything is in Spanish except for the figure and table captions that are in English. ¿Can anyone please help to solve this? Thanks
When I click on e.g. "Figure 1" or "Table 1" nothing happens, no cross-reference that I can find.

Format template

Hello ! This is quite odd. You have to go into the format template itself to translate this.
You should find this under Format\Catalog\ and then the name of this format. Then in the "Numbering" sheet (if I remember).
You'll see the caption with code all around. Don't change the expression and pay attention to spaces, only translate the word you need.
Then update the format for the complete book:
after you made all changes for all templates in regards of tables and figures, let this chapter opened and go into the book page view, select all other chapters and perform a global update of formats (right clic).
I hope you'll find it, I unfortunately don't have Frame maker at thome, these are only rememberings of my former job.
Best wishes, Marie

Hello Marie,
First, please let me apologize for not replying before. I accepted a job too many and when I finished I realized how rude I had been.

Well, thank you very much and best regards,
Germán
