I have a document template in Catalan using \usepackage[catalan]{babel}. I want to write the document in Spanish, but when I change that line to \usepackage[spanish]{babel} it throws an error:

./main.aux:3: Package babel Error: Unknown language `catalan'. Either you have (babel) misspelled its name, it has not been installed, (babel) or you requested it in a previous run. Fix its name, (babel) install it or just rerun the file, respectively.

What do I have to do?

Do as the message says: "just rerun the file". Compile LaTeX again. – Phelype Oleinik Mar 12 '18 at 17:09
I am in Overleaf, how can I rerun the file? – Albert Lazaro de Lara Mar 12 '18 at 17:10
I have never used it, but it looks like that it compiles automatically. If not, above the pdf preview, click "Manual" and then click "refresh preview". – Phelype Oleinik Mar 12 '18 at 17:16
I have compiled it and return the same error – Albert Lazaro de Lara Mar 12 '18 at 17:16
you should be able to get overleaf to clear the aux file, but of not, just use \usepackage[catalan,spanish]{babel} so catalan is loaded but not used, should get you back on track – David Carlisle Mar 12 '18 at 17:18
Ok, it works, and it changes some words to spanish. I would prefer to remove catalan language, but for now is ok – Albert Lazaro de Lara Mar 12 '18 at 17:25

In overleaf, when there's an error click on the red error box on the top right and it should display a menu. Select the "compile from scratch" option and it will delete the .aux file before rebuilding the document – Nicola Talbot Mar 12 '18 at 18:20
