The other day I was using the moderncv document class to create a CV. I also added my publications to the CV, which was supposed to be in German. BibTeX created a section “Literatur” for this. Obviously, I wanted the title of the bibliography to be “Publikationen” instead. When using the german package of babel, you can change the bibliography title like this in the LaTeX preamble:
addtocaptionsgerman{renewcommand{refname}{Publikationen}}
