[Tex/LaTex] MikTeX: How to install language using miktex-console

miktex

I'm running MiKTeX 2.9.6650 on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine. After successfully setting it up, I wanted to install additional languages.
That option used to be in the Settings, so I assumed to find it in the new miktex-console. As far as I can see, though, there is no such option: »Settings« has two tabs, »General« and »Directories«, but nothing relating to languages at all.

Am I missing something very obvious or has it just not been implemented yet? If the latter, how can I install additional languages without the console?

One year later: It seems, there still is no option to enable a language in my setup (I just tried with a fresh installation); a workaround that had been posted on github (https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/136) does not work anymore, either. It seems, MikTeX is not an option under Linux.

Best Answer

The tabs are already there in a current miktex (I checked both in miktex next and a standard miktex)

But there is no "add language button" (at least not in my single user installation, perhaps it is different for a multiuser installation). One only can enable and disable existing languages. So ff you want to add really new languages you will have to change the languages.ini manually.

Depending on the particular version you have, the MyriadPro package may not provide the OT1 font encoding. To use the T1 encoding instead (which is recommended in any case), add

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

before loading MyriadPro. To make use of the additional text symbols in the TS1 supplementary encoding, add

\usepackage{textcomp}

as well.

Alternatively call on a command line

and add the line there.
