[Tex/LaTex] Include file with preamble to another tex file

external filesincludeinputtitles

I have two files:
paper.tex with text, title, and full preamble with authors and so on.
It compiles successfully.

The second file (B) has also a full preamble with title, authors, little text.
It compiles also successfully. File B is in other language than English.

I need to have the content of file B in paper.tex output WITH TITLE, AUTHORS, etc.

In other words, I need a document with TWO title pages – 1'st titlepage should be in English and come from paper.tex and should appear as normal.
Second title page should appear with ALL formatting in last page and should be in another language with different babel and so on.

\include{B} in this situation does not work.
How can I achieve this?
Thank all for any kind of help.

As indicated in comments, this sounds like a case where you essentially want to combine the two resulting PDF files. That can be done using pdfLaTeX and the pdfpages pages, but probably is easiest to do using the pdftk utility.

The \include causes an .aux file to be written in the same directory of the included file; the most recent TeX distributions disallow writing in directories called with an explicit path or above the directory where the main file resides.

Use \input that doesn't suffer from these limitations, provided you have read access to the directories.

[Tex/LaTex] Two title pages, one with author names and one without

You can set the two titles in two separate titlepages:

enter image description here

\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}

% First title page
\begin{titlepage}
  \centering
  \vskip 60pt
  \LARGE This is the report title \par
  \vskip 3em
  \large Author A, Author B \par
  \vskip 1.5em
  \today
\end{titlepage}

% Second title page
\begin{titlepage}
  \centering
  \vskip 60pt
  \LARGE This is the report title \par
  \vskip 3em
  \large %Author A, Author B \par
  %\vskip 1.5em
  \today
\end{titlepage}

\chapter{A chapter}
\end{document}

The above definitions (skips and font sizes) were taken partially from report.cls.

There's no need to specifically rely on \maketitle or what happens to the contents when using macros \title, \author and/or \date.
