[Tex/LaTex] babel: “No hyphenation patterns were loaded for the language ‘Portuguese'”

babelerrorshyphenation

I put in the preamble of my document:

\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

When I compile as a PDF, I receive the output:

"No hyphenation patterns were loaded for(babel)
the language 'Portuguese'(babel)
I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead"

What am I doing wrong?

My main LaTeX editor is Kile.

This problem usually belongs to MiKTeX users up to version 2.8. Upgrade to version 2.9 or enable the language in the MiKTeX setting program.

Also who has TeX Live/Ubuntu can have this problem and the solution is to install with Synaptic the package texlive-lang-portuguese.
