Is it possible to translate this kind of field?


Here is how the field looks like:

{ DOCPROPERTY Revision \* MERGEFORMAT }

After pressing Alt+F9 to close the field again, the document shows "Revision", which I have to translate to "Revisão".

I even tried "Edit Field..." -> "Field Codes" and changed "Revision" to "Revisão", but after that Word indicates this error in the field:

Error! Unknown document property name


Did anyone have a problem like this before? Is it possible to fix it?

I would appreciate any help!

Kind regards,

Thanks a lot, Philippe, it worked!

Now another problem: the text I am to proofread was produced in a German MS-Word, so that it generated some German titles, for example, "Abbildungsverzeichnis" in the TOC, which in my text should actually be "Índice de ilustrações". I looked (almost) everywhere in Word but could not find the place where I can configure the names of parts of styles. I think this has something to do with styles, but I can't seem to find it.
