I've tried to create German quotation marks in LaTeX, but after compiling with \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
, I get this error:
! Package babel Error: Unknow option `ngerman'. Either you misspelled it
(babel) or the language definition file ngerman.ldf was not found.
The solution "Partei"' doesn't work at all and the alternative \glqq
only works with the \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
...
This is my code:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
%\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\renewcommand*{\UrlFont}{\normalfont}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
can anybody help me please? I have to turn in my paper next week...
Here's my "extended example":
I want to have German quotation marks. Normally, there are two possibilities to accomplish that:
either you do it this way: "`Partei"' and compile it. Unfortunately, this does not work any more (it has worked for my last paper, but I didn't change anything in my TeXmaker)
you can write: \glqq Partei\grqq and then you get German quotation marks in case you have installed the \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} or \usepackage{german}, but with both usepackaged I get the error described above.
Normally, I work with TeXmaker on Linux Ubuntu.
Do you need any more information? I'm not quite an expert on this field, sorry...

are checked. – doncherry Mar 22 '14 at 15:58ngerman
module forbabel
was issued shortly thereafter. What TeX distribution are you using? If it's on a GNU/Linux box, you may have to install German language support. – egreg Mar 22 '14 at 17:49sudo apt-get texlive-lang-german
from a terminal should do; or use Synaptic (or whatever you use for installing Debian packages). – egreg Mar 22 '14 at 18:22
