Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ No "polish' option in babel

[Jan Borowiec]

I recently changed from Xubuntu to Linux Mint 20. After the change, I'm facing difficulties with the "polish' option in the babel package. Here is the minimum sample:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[polish]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
MINIMUM WORKING EXAMPLE.
\end{document}

Here is the latex translation result:

Code: Select all

! Package babel Error: Unknown option `polish'. Either you misspelled it
(babel)                or the language definition file polish.ldf was not found
.

See the babel package documentation for explanation.

Hi Jan,

as it's a Debian/Ubuntu kind of Linux distribution, you could install the texlive-lang-polish package from the Linux (Mint) repositories.

Or install a current original TeX Live, version 2021 was just released this month.
