I'm using the memoir class to produce a LyX document that's mainly
written in U.S. English but has several quotes that use British (UK)
English. So when I put the document through LyX's spell check and came
to words like "behaviours," I just marked them as UK English. But when I
tried to compile the document, LaTeX threw an error saying the command
"\foreignlanguage{british}{behaviours}" was undefined.
No problem, I thought. I'll just put a command in the document preface
to load babel with both languages: \usepackage[british,american]{babel}.
But this didn't work because LaTeX threw an error saying babel had
already been loaded. But for the life of me, I can't find where babel is
being loaded. The memoir manual says it does not duplicate the
functionality of packages like babel, and babel is not in the list of
packages memoir loads. So by a process of elimination, I can only guess
that LyX is surreptitiously loading babel. But if so, shouldn't it be
doing so with options for all the languages used in the document? (I.e.,
is this a bug in LyX?)
This is happening using LyX 2.2.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.10.5
(Yosemite), with MacTeX 2016 and all packages updated to their latest
version with the TeX Live utility. The Language settings in the LyX file
are "English (USA)," with Encoding set to Unicode (utf8), and Language
package set to "Automatic."
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.
