error messages:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

In addition to Gonzalo's correct reply that you need to run it with latex, not pdflatex:

there are other small issues in your code

  • replace \english{slide} by \arabic{slide} (this is the numbering of the slide, not a language thing!
  • remove [] from your second slide (or add actual valid options; this is meant an indication of where options might be entered)
