I've just joined the forum because I've been struggling with babel not recognising English.
I've done my previous homework and looked at previous posts and on the web in general, but to no avail.
I've just downloaded and installed latex again (via Miktex) and downloaded TexLive too. I've also updated all the packages. I'm using Windows 10.
Even the following minimal document would not compile:
Code: Select all
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}
Hello
\end{document}
Package babel Error: Unknown option `english'. Either you misspelled itd. \ProcessOptions*
Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option. ...ry to proceed from here, type x to quit.}
I've tried compiling the document with PdfLaTex, LuaLaTex, etc. Nothing.
Before attempting anything new, I've always deleted the aux file and tried again. Nothing.
I've changed to \usepackage[american]{babel}. Nothing.
How can I make this work?
Thanks,
Jose Iparraguirre
