With lyx >= 1.1.6fix2, you can put the line
\language_use_babel "false"
in ~/.lyx/preferences , and then LyX will not use babel when the
language of the document is equal to the default language
(The default language can be set in the preferences dialog,
lang_opts->language tab. It is usually English).
