    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    I´m using MikTeX (recently updated), XeTeX and the language
    "german". If I load the language with Polyglossia, I will get the
    following errors:<br>
    <span style=" vertical-align:top;">Missing number, treated as zero.<br>
      <to be read again> <br>
                         \l@german <br>
      l.124 \begin{document}</span><br>
    <br>
    <span style=" vertical-align:top;">Missing number, treated as zero.<br>

    Because I knew that it´s a bug in polyglossia
    (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/98270/faulty-output-because-of-polyglossia-issue">http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/98270/faulty-output-because-of-polyglossia-issue</a>)
    (How can I send a bug report to the maintainers?), I´ve examined the
    languages.ini. For the language german, the entry is:<br>
    <br>
    [german]<br>
    loader=loadhyph-de-1901.tex<br>
    lefthyphenmin=2<br>
    righthyphenmin=2<br>
    patterns=hyph-de-1901.pat.txt<br>
    hyphenation=hyph-de-1901.hyp.txt<br>
    <br>
    My problem: The hyphenation file hyph-de-1901.hyp.txt contains 0
    Bytes - it´s clear that LaTeX can´t find hyphenation patterns. I
    assume that somewhere, LaTeX is sent to a false file. Could someone
    help me?<br>
    <br>
    Many thanks in advance.!<br>
