I'm currently finishing my PhD thesis. I use Lyx and the packages
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\frenchbsetup{FrenchFootnotes=false}
I use the french quotation marks (guillemets) without any problem inside the text, but the french guillemets are replaced by english ones in the titles (chapters, sections…) when the document becomes a .pdf
.
I'm sure there is a simple answer to that, but I didn't find it online.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Here is a compilable code:
\documentclass[12pt,oneside,english,french,oldfontcommands]{memoir}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=2cm,bmargin=2cm,lmargin=2.5cm,rmargin=2.5cm}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-2}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}
\setlength{\parindent}{1.15cm}
\setSpacing{1.3999999999999999}

Best Answer
In run-in titles like
\paragraph
LaTeX sets the text of title at the time when the following paragraph starts. So the\selectlanguage{english}
"backfires" (a\color{red}
at this place would color the title too). So you should start the paragraph before changing the language, e.g. with\leavevmode
