AFAIK, babel is loaded by default if you use any Language other than
English (US), be it as document language or for text parts.
What I find strange is that LyX seems to be introducing the
\selectlanguage and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a
random fashion.
Normally not.
When I create a new equation-reference, I get something
like:
\eqref{\selectlanguage{british}eq:myequation\selectlanguage{english}}
This might be a bug (but see below).
How does the british language enter my document - the default is
probably just English on my system. Even my \documentclass command
(on latex export) shows the british option!
The most comman source of this kind of problems is copy and
paste from a document in another language as the language attribute is
preserved.
Another bug is that, if you select a document part containing an inset
resetting the language is not (always) done inside the inset. Instead,
you have to go into the inset, mark the content and repeat the language
reset command :-( Combine this with the feature that the blue underline
will be not visible for the closed inset, you see the source of much
confusion.

Mystified by \selectlanguage
Hi users,
I find \selectlanguage{british} and \selectlanguage{english} automatically
springing up in my exported latex code (I am not able to generate DVI from
within lyx for this reason).
My document is a simple one with article document class. The only module
I am using is TODO notes (and that is where the \selectlanguage causes
problems - it begins to show up within the text for the todo-note).
I haven't messed with any other document setting.
Does anyone know how and why this command shows up at all?
thanks,
Manoj

I've traced this to the use of the babel package - it seems to be
automatically set for use in Tools-Preferences...-Language
settings-Language dialog.

and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a random fashion. When I
create a new equation-reference, I get something like:

Does anyone know why these show up? In the language settings dialog I see
options for Auto begin and Auto end which are checked in my case. Also, in
the Command start: line-edit, I see \selectlanguage{$$language}. I am
guessing it it these settings that are responsible for the spurious language
switchings inside my \eqref. But if these are defaults for new documents, is
there a reason why I may not have seen this before? How does the british
language enter my document - the default is probably just English on my
system. Even my \documentclass command (on latex export) shows the british
option!
