Hi Fabio,

You can add for instance, at the top of your setups:

\mainlanguage[it]
\setuplabeltext[it][figure=Foto ]

Or whatever other words than « Foto » you may wish (beware: there should be a space after « Foto »).
The command \setuplabeltext can be used also when translating other words like chapter, section, table, etc.

Best regards: OK
