Hi,
I write my thesis in English and have to add a summary in Dutch.
I use the following:
In the preamble:
\usepackage[dutch,british]{babel}
...
\include{samenvatting}
...
In samenvatting.tex:
\chapter{Samenvatting}
\selectlanguage{dutch}
...
\selectlanguage{british}
\vfill
The Dutch words are not recognized as Dutch, the dictionary used for correction is the english one.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Thierry

And you now expect us to find out which editor you are using. Sorry, but my crystal ball is out of order at the moment. Otherwise you may mean the correct hyphenation in the output. Please be more precise in your descriptions.itb1000 wrote:[...] The Dutch words are not recognized as Dutch, the dictionary used for correction is the english one. [...]

I'm not familiar with WinEdt. If not done yet, you should install a Dutch dictionary [1]. In this community you might find more useful hints.

Re: Dutch in summary
In WinEdt, the dictionaries have to be enabled for the whole document. So once you've got the Dutch dictionary, you turn it on along with the English one and hopefully all works. Of course, this won't catch a Dutch word in the English bit, or vice versa.
