Document Classes ⇒ babel : No hyphenation patterns were loaded for the language

[aeelmn]

I've just updated MikTeX version 2.4 to MikTeX version 2.6 and everything seems to be working as usual, except I get the warning:

No hyphenation patterns were loaded for the language `Danish'

Did I do something wrong? How can I fix this?

Start a second run on your document. Otherwise erase all the files you didn't create yourself (all files except the TEX file) and start another run.

It doesn't help, even if I create a whole new document I still get the warning. Also, depending on which documentclass I choose it won't even create the Danish characters anymore

Another chance could be to add the danish language in the MiKTeX Settings (tab "Languages").

I did that, but it doesn't seem to make a difference

Maybe i forgot a detail to mention. You have to build the new formats with MiKTeX Settings (tab "Formats"). Just klick an entry in the list and then the button "Build".

In case that this isn't successful, you have to do a workaround. After searching a little bit in the world wide web, i found a solution (originally worked out for a Linux system). It affects the file "language.dat", which can be found in two different paths.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.6\tex\generic\config
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.6\tex\platex\config

Search the file located in the first path and uncomment the line for your language (by deleting the character "%").

Code: Select all

…
%danish dkhyph.tex
…

If that doesn't help, try the same procedure with the file in the second path and don't forget so save the file.

Code: Select all

…
%danish  dkhyphen.tex
…

Please report in every case if this was successful. And which method did the trick.

Thank you for trying to help, but I'm afraid none of it worked for me. I just discovered that I only get the warning when building LaTeX => PDF, and not when using either LaTeX => DVI or LaTeX => PS, though I am only able to view the output when using pdf. So I'm thinking that maybe I just did something wrong when trying to install it or the settings aren't right?

Last chance could be to contact the maintainer of MiKTeX. He's very kind in supporting users, even if they are not registered.

Thank you I will try that Funny thing is that I don't even get the warning anymore though, after installing miktex-hyph-danish package, but it still won't show the Danish letters. Strange
