[Tex/LaTex] betababel: You haven’t defined the language polutonikogreek yet

babelbetababelerrorsgreek

For many years I used the package betababel to combine Latin and Greek letters in one document, but since version 2014.20141024-1 of texlive-lang-greek, the simple example

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{betababel}

\begin{document}
\bcode{lo/gos}
\end{document}

(which worked with the previous version) produces this error when compiling with pdflatex:

Package babel Error: You haven't defined the language polutonikogreek yet.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Best Answer

I do not know if this runs into some clashes, but as betababel loads babel as well, it should be safe to do:

% arara: pdflatex

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[polutonikogreek, ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[ngerman]{betababel}

\begin{document}
    \bcode{lo/gos}
\end{document}

As written in your output, the babel option polutonikogreek was missing. As betababel does not offer this option, just load it via the original babel.
