language package option can not be overridden from a specific language to auto

Closed this issue · 4 comments

If a specific language is specified in the options, it does not seem to be possible to later revert to language=auto behaviour.

Consider this MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=verbose,language=english,autolang=other,language=auto]{biblatex}% always uses english
%\usepackage[style=verbose,autolang=other,language=auto]{biblatex}% works as expected
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\null\vfill
Filler text \autocite{westfahl:space}.
Filler text \autocite{aksin}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thanks for reporting this bug.

It should hopefully be fixed with 6fa64cd. Testing would be appreciated.

Seems to work with the example in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/498826/87678 and does not break any of my tests with biblatex-sbl. Thanks!

Phew! Thanks for testing.

Should be fixed in version 3.13, which was released yesterday.
