I'm currently writing my Bachelor's thesis in English but have to include a German abstract. Hyphenation will not work for German words unless I include the ngerman package. But then English words are not hyphenated.

Is there a way to switch the language for a specific chapter only?

  • As mentioned in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3910/how-to-keep-up-with-packages-and-know-which-ones-are-obsolete, ngerman is considered obsolete, using the babel package with the ngerman option is better (as Herbert did in his answer). – doncherry Sep 03 '11 at 21:58
