It's all in the title. The issue is simple, I just wish to change the language so that I can type in french using babel. The original languages are ngerman
and american
.
I just want to replace the ngerman
language to french
or francais
or frenchb
or whatever needed to type in french.
So what I did was change this line 41 (in the ClassicThesis.tex file) :
\documentclass[ twoside,openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,headinclude,%1headlines,% letterpaper a4paper
footinclude=true,cleardoublepage=empty,abstractoff, % <--- obsolete, remove (todo)
BCOR=5mm,paper=a4,fontsize=11pt,%11pt,a4paper,%
ngerman,american%
]{scrreprt}
into this
\documentclass[ twoside,openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,headinclude,%1headlines,% letterpaper a4paper
footinclude=true,cleardoublepage=empty,abstractoff, % <--- obsolete, remove (todo)
BCOR=5mm,paper=a4,fontsize=11pt,%11pt,a4paper,%
francais,american%
]{scrreprt}
also changed line 63 to this
\selectlanguage{francais} % american ngerman
and finally I opened the ClassicThesis-config.tex file and uncommented line 78 to this :
\PassOptionsToPackage{francais,american}{babel} % change this to your language(s)
And that's all I did. Then, when I try to compile (using TexShop on Mac), I get this message :
Package frenchb.ldf Warning: The definition of \@makecaption has been changed,
(frenchb.ldf) frenchb will NOT customise it;
(frenchb.ldf) reported on input line 60.

Is this a normal reaction? What am I doing wrong?
