Re: Package babel Error: Unknow option `ngerman'

[Philipp Gröne]

Hi! more serious: if I try to export a pdf output from my document, I get   ! Package babel Error: Unknow option `ngerman'. Either you misspelled it (babel) or the language definition file ngerman.ldf was not found.   and no output.   I use lyx 2.0.6-1+b1 and texlive 2013 under Debian I had the same error while compiling documents, I solved it by manually deleting all lines from the document in question which contained "/ngerman". (By opening them in a text editor and using the search feature) This worked like a charm. This can be due to sheer luck, it is possible that this opens a can of worms in other documents. I advice to make backups before editing the source document manually. (By the way, just commenting it out by adding a # to the beginning of the line in question did not work.) If you want to install more packages instead try either "texlive-lang-german" or "texlive-lang-all". Hope this helped, Ph.
