How can i make org mode export latex file with a custom language?

Question

I need romanian for my school reports, i want to write them in org mode.

Is there some #+LANG attribute? Do i need to set some emacs variables? I'd really like a per-file solution more

See this question. The dictionary is not completed for some languages, you may need to patch it. — Firmin Martin, Oct 15, 2020 at 19:25
It sets the pdflang attribute but doesn't change the date format or table of contents... — Soft Waffle, Oct 15, 2020 at 19:39
Yes, that's the missing part I mentioned... You have two choices: 1. Patch it locally in your configuration 2. Send a patch to Org mode. — Firmin Martin, Oct 15, 2020 at 19:42
Oh, it's fixed now... I added #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[romanian]babel and it seems to work now. even better, the #+LANGUAGE attribute regardless of what version the babel package is. nice — Soft Waffle, Oct 15, 2020 at 19:45
Alright, so just using babel makes #+LANGUAGE work. Thanks, @FirminMartin — Soft Waffle, Oct 15, 2020 at 19:49

I needed to add the following code to make #+LANGUAGE work:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[romanian]{babel}
#+LANGUAGE: ro

I don't know why, but removing the [romanian] breaks it. It can be any language because the only thing that matters is the #+LANGUAGE value now.

#+language: isn't used properly, for whatever I define as propely in \LaTeX{}, but is used when generation HTML C-c C-e h h. You need to add the language to #+class_options: [a4paper,romanian] or as you do, as an optional argument to package \usepackage[romanian]{babel}. You should probably also set \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and \usepackage[AUTO]{inputenc}. At least that worked for me and swedish and #+language: sv.
