enumitem conflicts with galician

Question

The following code:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[galician]{babel}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Preguntas e respostas}
\begin{enumerate}
\item{}\textit{Non aparece a imaxe do fondo.}
Se construíches o KLettres.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

generates

Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 11.

The code works if I replace enumitem with enumerate or galician with spanish. But enumitem is needed to have unboxed style for descriptions.

Is there any way to avoid this conflict?

Answer 1

The enumitem package has a loadonly option, which does not redefine existing list environments (enumerate, itemize, description), but lets you define your own ones (see its documentation). For example:

\usepackage[shortlabels,loadonly]{enumitem}

\newlist{mydesc}{description}{2}
\setlist[mydesc]{style=unboxed}

not only works with galician, but defines a new mydesc environment, behaving like description (except that it is unboxed and has a maximum depth level of 2).

Answer 2

Add the following to the preamble, after loading babel:

\makeatletter
\let\savegl@listquot\gl@listquot
\def\gl@listquot{\protect\savegl@listquot}
\makeatletter
