Package: pandoc Version: 1.19.2.1~dfsg+really1.19.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
it seems that both Babel and pandoc-citeproc use `lang` as a variable to set the language, but they don't use the same language codes, e.g. for german: ngerman (Babel) and de-DE (pandoc-citeproc), so when using Babel and pandoc-citeproc, setting another language throws an error either from Babel or from pandoc-citeproc. This issue has been reportedly solved in the most recent versions of pandoc -- see https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-citeproc/issues/297 ) What I'm trying to do: Generate a PDF from Markdown using two separate files (markdown + yaml) pandoc -o test.pdf --csl my.csl --bibliography mybib.bib test.md test.yaml The lang is defined in test.yaml. If I set lang: ngerman, pandoc-citeproc throws an error because it is looking for locales-ng.xml, which doesn't exist. If I set lang: de-DE, Babel throws an error because it doesn't know that language. There is a workaround: It seems, that pandoc-citeproc takes the first two letters of the lang variable and then looks for a file named locales-xx.xml, where xx are the first two letters of the lang variable, e.g. when defining lang: ngerman, pandoc-citeproc looks for locales-ng.xml. Making a symbolic link from locales-ng.xml to locales-de-DE.xml did the trick. I haven't tried other languages, though.
