Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Change Language within a Document

[fibonacci2]

Hi guys!

I'm writing a bilingual document in English and Italian and I have this problem: I can't change language inside the document.

I tried all these commands:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[oneside]{book}
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage[italian,english]{babel}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

\selectlanguage{italian}
città
\selectlanguage{english}

\foreignlanguage{italian}{città}

\begin{otherlanguage}{italian}
città
\end{otherlanguage}

\end{document}

but none of them works properly!
In each case the letter "accented a" is wrongly displayed with a swung dash (instead of the accent).
Does someone have an idea about which problem is?

Thanks!

It's not related to the language, but more an encoding problem. For accented characters from a European language try another font encoding as well as input encoding.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}   % enable Cork Encoding
\usepackage{selinput}      % instead of »inputenc«
\SelectInputMappings{
  agrave={à},
  igrave={ì},
  Euro={€}
}
