Dear Francis,
I am referring to LyX 1.1.6, perhaps it is similar in 1.2.0:
Under Edit/Settings there is the point Languages, and again the point
Language. Here you find the point Package, the default is probably
\usepackage[english]{babel}. Change this to, for example,
\usepackage[french,english]{babel}, or whatever language you need. The last
language option set is the default, all other languages with their
hyphenation patterns and specialities are loaded within the document with
\selectlanguage{french}, for example.
Do not invoke \usepackage{babel} a second time under Layout/LaTeX preamble,
otherwise you get the problems you mentioned.
Happy texing
Tobias
