Dear Tobias, Dear all
Thank you very much for your answer.
Your solution works in the following way :
I set the Edit/Settings/Languages/Language/Package entry to :
\usepackage[english,french]{babel}
and Format/Language/Language to french
and add :
\selectlanguage{french} in the document before the title (it won't work if I
put in the preamble).
---
Now one may wonder why the \selectlanguage{french} has to be used since the
\usepackage[english,french]{babel} should automatically set the defualt
language to french, which is not the case.
I investigated and found out that LyX will produce the following latex code
:
%% LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[a4paper,french]{article}
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,french]{babel}
\makeatletter
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands.
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{french}
%%etc.
If I modify the line line :
\documentclass[a4paper,french]{article}
for :
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
and remove the line \selectlanguage{french}, it will also work (the french
language will be selected by default).
Why ?
Thank you

>Dear Francis,

>Happy texing
