hyperref autoref capitalization problems with babel

Question

I have already read some similar qustions, but the solution over there does not work if I add the 'babel' package. The thing is change the autorefname of one specific, say Figure, and I just want to change the way that it is written, say capital case. Everything is fine but if I uncomment the package babel, so the command is ignored.

\documentclass[11pt]{book}

%\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\def\figureautorefname{FIGURE}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{foo}\label{fig:foo}
\end{figure}
As shown in \autoref{fig:foo}~\dots
\end{document}

probably is a easy questions, but I don't find it.

Answer 1

The manual of hyperref contains an example for this case:

Example for a redefinition if babel is used:

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}  
\addto\extrasngerman{%  
  \def\subsectionautorefname{Unterkapitel}%  
}

In your case:

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\addto\extrasenglish{%
  \def\figureautorefname{FIGURE}%
}
