A beamer file that I had created last year will not compile now. Here is a minimal example:

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

The log file is long but here is the relevant part:

(C:\Users\petrovic\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\latex\beamer\beamerbasetranslator.sty
(C:\Users\petrovic\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\latex\translator\translator.sty
Package: translator 2019-05-31 v1.12a Easy translation of strings in LaTeX
)
! Missing = inserted for \ifnum.
<to be read again> 
               -
l.15 \usedictionary
               {translator-basic-dictionary}
I was expecting to see `<', `=', or `>'. Didn't.

)

I have reinstalled translator and beamer packages, but it did not help. I am using MikTex (which I also updated).

    Ditto here on TL 2019, same version of translator.sty as in the provided log. There is no \ifnum in my translator.sty. @J.Petrovic Did you try removing the .aux file? – frougon Jul 14 '19 at 06:49

    Do you have a multi-user MikTeX installation? In that case make absolutely sure that you have updated your system in both Admin and User mode at least twice. The user-installed package translator shown in the .log is up to date, but if your Admin-installed base system is outdated problems like this might occur. (Can you upload the complete .log file to a text-sharing website site such as https://pastebin.com/, https://0bin.net/, http://dpaste.com/, https://gist.github.com/, please?) – moewe Jul 14 '19 at 07:01
  • @moewe. It worked! – J.Petrovic Jul 14 '19 at 10:51
  • The issue is structurally the same as the one discussed in Compilation problem with siunitx (returning error regarding ifnum) for siunitx. Here the 'problematic' package is translator, but the rest of the analysis still applies. The problem was solved by a thorough system update. – moewe Jul 14 '19 at 14:43
