It works with other editors like Texshop as well as from the command line. But not with Textmate. On the other hand, I can compile other .tex files with Textmate. So I am a bit lost as to why this is happening.

thank you for the detailed bug report. I tried to translate `main.tex` in TextMate, which did not work, just as you reported. After that I tried to compile the document using the command `pdflatex`, which failed printing the following error message:

    ! Class langsci/langscibook Error: Please use XeLaTeX!.

. The error message above states that you need to use XeLaTeX instead of the usual default engine PDFLaTeX. You can change the default engine **for all documents** via the menu item `Bundles`→`LaTeX`→`Preferences…`:


. Another (better) option might be to just change the engine for the **single document** by adding the line

    %!TEX TS-program = xelatex

at the top of the document `main.tex`. After that everything should work as intended. If it does not, please do not hesitate to ask again.

Kind regards,
  René
