I recently wrote a German paper with kile and LaTeX.

In the header, I included the folowing line:

\usepackage[ngerman] {babel} 

But the hyphenation didn't work (or at least: it worked but made the hyphen elsewhere) and there came always one warning:

  No hyphenation patterns were loaded for(babel) the language `ngerman'(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.

Problem solved: The tetex-extra package was missing or maybe texlive-lang-german would have been sufficiant.

apt-get install tetex-extra
