Synopsis: Alternative to Babel for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
Description:

This package provides a complete Babel replacement for users of LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX. It includes support for over 70 different languages, some of which in different regional or national varieties, or using a different writing system. It enables:

  • Loading the appropriate hyphenation patterns.

  • Setting the script and language tags of the current font (if possible and available), using the package fontspec.

  • Switching to a font assigned by the user to a particular script or language.

  • Adjusting some typographical conventions in function of the current language (such as afterindent, frenchindent, spaces before or after punctuation marks, etc.)

  • Redefining the document strings (like chapter, figure, bibliography). Adapting the formatting of dates (for non-gregorian calendars via external packages bundled with polyglossia: currently the Hebrew, Islamic and Farsi calendars are supported).

  • For languages that have their own numeration system, modifying the formatting of numbers appropriately.

  • Ensuring the proper directionality if the document contains languages written from right to left.
