Portuguese issue on sharelatex

[sara-rodriguez]

I've got this error message today in sharelatex:

newcommand* as robustness is handled now at top level infmtcount.sty,and we don’t need long macros. Concerned macros are @numberstringM-portuges, @numberstringFportuges, @NumberstringMportuges, @Numbers-tringFportuges, @ordinalstringMportuges, @ordinalstringFportuges, @Ordi-nalstringMportuges, and @OrdinalstringFportuge

This happens in portuguese language, how can I fix this?

Dear Sara,

Sorry for this bug.

It was fixed lately (last week). The fix was uploaded to CTAN. Please download and install the latest version from CTAN (probably not yet available to MikTeX/TexLive package managers) and make me know if this solves you problem.

VBR, Vincent.

FYI, you can write to me also in French (my native language) if it is easier for you, and the bug you mention seems to be the same as bug 25.

I'm having the same error on sharelatex.com, but the document still renders somehow.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Dear @nmptux , I have just written to ShareLaTeX using the contact form to indicate them that fmtcount needs update from CTAN. So the only thing I can tell you is to be patient and wait for them to make the update.

Dear Vincent.

Thanks for the update.

Regards.

Nelson.

Dear Nelson,

I got this answer from sharelatex.com:

Hi,

Sorry to hear of this and thanks for bringing it to our attention. Would you be able to send me the URL of a project affected by this bug, and I'll look into getting it fixed?

Best Regards, Michael, ShareLaTeX support.

Dear ShareLaTeX, There was an unfortunate bug introduced in the fmtcount portugese language definition file. It has been fixed and released to CTAN, but sharelatex is not yet up to date. project_url = https://github.com/nlct/fmtcount/issues/26

Maybe you should reply directly to them at this address : support@sharelatex.com

BR, Vincent.

Hi everyone,

I have had the same problem with fmtcount/portuguese in Sharelatex.

To solve it, I downloaded from http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/fmtcount.tds.zip, the files:

• fmtcount.sty
• fcprefix.sty
• fmtcount.sty
• fc-portuguese.def
• fc-portugues.def

After that, I have put this files on the root directory of my sharelatex project and the problem was fixed. I generated the pdf without error.

ps. maybe isn't necessary all this files, but I have put everything.

[vincentb1]

Actually, only fc-portuges.def is faulty, replacing it is sufficient. I have no control on what Sharelatex uses, and indeed I am not a Sharelatex user. The fmtcount package has been updated on CTAN, but unfortunately I can't do anything for projects on Sharelatex that use the faulty version, the project managers need to do the update by themselves. Maybe Sharelatex has some package update manager to help this operation, I don't know…

Overleaf v2 was also with the same matter over portuguese language and uploading the file fc-portugues.def was enough to solve the problem. Thank you people.

Thank you very much, @vincentb1 and @luizsantos. Just had the same problem with Overleaf and uploading fc-portuges.def solved the problem.
