This version +includes support for 78 different languages. + +Polyglossia makes it possible to automate the following tasks: + +* 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 (via the package bidi, available separately). + +LICENSE + +Copyright (c) 2008-2010 François Charette, 2013 Élie Roux, 2011-2019 Arthur Reutenauer + +Polyglossia is placed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public Licence +(LPPL), either version 1.3, or, at your option, any later version.
