Thanks. A new version of hyperref solves the problem. But putting the language
as a global option does break some other packages, for example, the newest
slide making package "prosper" will be broken if the global language option is
used.
Does it make more sense that the language option is specified at the place
where it is used, i.e., by:
\usepackage[language]{babel}
