Text Formatting ⇒ Why trivfloat wants to speak french???

[robertoneto123]

Hello,

First of all, I am not doing a french document.

My problem: When I put

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{trivfloat}
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage[alf,abnt-etal-list=0,abnt-etal-cite=2,abnt-year-extra-label=yes,abnt-etal-text=emph]{abntcite}
\usepackage{abnt-alf}
(...)

I got the error:

projetoFinal.tex:132:Package babel Error: You haven't defined the language french yet. \begin{document}

When I comment the \usepackage{trivfloat} line, everything works fine.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Thanks!

Roberto

Hi Roberto,

if you would post a minimal working example instead of just that piece of code we could test and examine the problem.

I've tried your code, I had to comment out the packages abntcite and abnt-alf in order to make it compilable and of course I had to build a document around it using a class - there was no babel error.

Perhaps delete your .aux file and compile again.

As the author of trivfloat, I can't see why this is happening. As Stefan says, a full working example is needed here.

Thanks!

I attached a minimial example.

By the way, I found that if I put \usepackage[brazil,french]{babel} it does compile.

But is strange, since nothing in my doc is in french...

[josephwright]

Your example needs abnt.cls, which is missing from the zip file (standard files such as booktabs, trivfloat itself, etc., are not really necessary!)

[josephwright]

Phew, I found all of the necessary files on the Internet. If you start with a clean folder (delete all aux files, etc.) then all is fine. You might get an odd error if there are old aux files about delete all of them before trying anything. \listfiles gives me:

This problem is still happening and removing aux files doesn't help.
