General ⇒ How are automatic translation of references disabled?

[Montag]

Hello,

a couple of minutes ago, I noticed that I the whole folder of my document (which I copied from my laptop with MikTeX 2.8 to my desktop PC with MikTeX 2.9b yesterday evening) produces a pdf-file with English terms for the references produced by hyperref.
The document contains the line

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

which so far produced "Gleichung 4.1" when writing \autoref{eq:some-test-equation}.

I'd really like to post a MWE, but I can't figure out the minimal version of this.
Or maybe this is just a stupid misunderstanding?
Maybe I should use "german" as a global option which always helps IIRC...

This is always preferable since the class can pass this option to packages which can use it.

Ok, I'll do that from now on, thanks.
But I'd still like to understand why the translated reference-terms switched to English. I didn't change anything and then -- *zing* -- everything was in English. :/

I think a remote diagnosis is very difficult if not impossible. Even if you can reproduce the behaviour with a minimal example, the chances might be very low that others are able to comprehend. Nevertheless you could try. Are there any irregularities in the log?

I think I won't follow up on that issue, but thanks for replying anyway -- it's obvious that it's to reproduce that error, so I won't try, also I've just ran into the usual "gui framework cannot be initialized" problem and thus am downloading the whole MikTeX distribution right now.
