I have a document (Texstudio in OSX) written using the LatexBangla package (XeLaTex system). But I am unable incorporate a bibliography in English written using biblatex (biber). The minimal code is given below.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,onesided, notitlepage]{article}
%\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[banglamainfont=Kalpurush,
banglattfont=Siyam Rupali
]{latexbangla}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=alphabetic,sorting=nyt, language=english,autolang=other]{biblatex}
\begin{document}
Hello
 \end{document}

I get the following error -

line 7: Package etoolbox Error: Toggle 'blx@lang@captions@bengali' undefined. \begin{document}
: 'babel/polyglossia' detected but 'csquotes' missing.
: Unused global option(s): [onesided].
: Language 'bengali' not supported.
: No file bengali_test.bbl.
: There were undefined references.
: Please (re)run Biber on the file:(biblatex) bengali_test(biblatex) and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

  • It doesn't work. I get same error even after updating! – Grobber Jan 15 '21 at 15:50
  • I just managed to compile the MWE (with slightly different font settings) without the etoolbox error. (I'm using biblatex v3.16) What version of biblatex are you running? Please upload the complete .log file of a the failing run to a text-sharing website such as https://pastebin.com/ or https://gist.github.com/. – moewe Jan 15 '21 at 15:56

  • Delete the .aux, .bbl and .bcf file. Then run XeLaTeX again. (The error about 'blx@lang@captions@bengali' undefined is no longer present. You get a very different error in the .aux file now.) – moewe Jan 15 '21 at 16:04
  • It worked on this code! But, I have to check if it works on my original code. – Grobber Jan 15 '21 at 16:08
  • Any news here? Did you manage to compile your original document? – moewe Jan 17 '21 at 08:10
  • Thanks for asking. I did manage to compile it fine. But the bibliography is empty for some reason. I am trying to fix that. – Grobber Jan 18 '21 at 05:51
  • The following errors arise in the minimal file above (I just added a reference): https://pastebin.com/W4w8f3Ev – Grobber Jan 18 '21 at 11:30
  • The error you initially asked about is definitely resolved. The .log you show does not report any errors, but it says that your citation bhatt-perfectoid is undefined. Are you sure the citation is contained in your .bib file? Is the entry key correct? Did you run XeLaTeX, Biber, XeLaTeX, XeLaTeX? Did Biber report any issues in the .blg file? Can you run https://gist.github.com/moewew/6f24521919be979a478ceb0ffde20153 (without any modifications, the .bib file used there will be found automatically on your system)? – moewe Jan 20 '21 at 06:58
  • I tried. It doesn't work work with XeLaTex (empty bibliography). It works with pdflatexmk.

    However my original document doesn't work with XeTex, or LuaLaTex (message: XeTeX is required to compile this document.* Sorry!) or pdflatexmk. With XeLaTex it produces empty bibliography. The bibliography is fine as the SAME document produces a bibliography when I change language from LatexBangla to babel English.

  • Just running XeLaTeX is not enough to get a bibliography. You will have to run XeLaTeX, Biber, XeLaTeX, XeLaTeX. pdflatexmk does all of that for you automatically behind the scenes (with pdfLaTeX instead of XeLaTeX) that's why you don't have to run Biber explicitly. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864 to find out how to configure your editor to help you run Biber for you. I don't quite understand the last error and it does not appear to have anything to do with biblatex. Note that there usually is a difference between running XeTeX and XeLaTeX: you want the latter. – moewe Jan 20 '21 at 16:20
  • I put biber in it and managed to run it with a simple bibliography. https://pastebin.com/ELkpUcWi was the log file. However, it a different bibliography and when I changed to my original bibliography it was not working. So I deleted all filed (.log, .aux, etc.) and rerun it, it didn't work. Since then I cannot get it to work EVEN on the SIMPLE bibliography. New log file https://pastebin.com/tGkJFXRP – Grobber Jan 21 '21 at 03:51
  • The .log of the file where the bibliography does not work reports file 'paper.bbl' not found. which suggest that you did not run Biber after running XeLaTeX (or that you did, but Biber stopped early due to an error). Run XeLaTeX, Biber, XeLaTeX, XeLaTeX in that order. – moewe Jan 21 '21 at 06:14
  • I have the following setting. https://imgur.com/a/IJEnEEZ – Grobber Jan 21 '21 at 12:44
  • I voted to close the question as a duplicate of the one linked above, since the main issue mentioned in the title and the body text is covered by the duplicate. There seemed to be some other unrelated issues that prevented generation of the bibliography here. If you still have a problem with those, I'd urge you to ask a new question with a new MWE and an accurate description of your settings (editor settings) and what is going on. – moewe Mar 23 '21 at 07:59
