+ ¦ ¦
+ ¦ THE POLYGLOSSIA PACKAGE v1.3 ¦
+ ¦ ¦
+ ¦ Modern multilingual typesetting ¦
+ ¦ with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX ¦
+ ¦ ¦
+ ¦----------------------------------------------¦
+
+This package provides a complete Babel replacement for users of XeLaTeX and
+(at an early stage) LuaLaTeX. This version includes support for 74 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).
+
+Several features of Babel that do not make sense in the XeTeX world (like font
+encodings, shorthands, etc) are not supported. For German however, several
+shorthands do make sense and can be activated with the language option
+babelshorthands=true.
+
+Polyglossia is distributed in the traditional way with *.dtx and *.ins files,
+and also comes with a TDS-conformant ready-to-unpack zip file.
+
+To install from source (i.e. using polyglossia.dtx), run
+ xelatex polyglossia.dtx
+which will generate all files and produce the pdf documentation all at once.
+Alternatively if you have the file polyglossia.ins run
+ xetex polyglossia.ins
+and follow the instructions displayed.
+
+
+BUGS
+
+Users are encouraged to report bugs on the github tracker:
+http://github.com/reutenauer/polyglossia/issues
+
+
+CHANGES
+
+1.3 (11-05-2013)
+ * Several bugfixes.
+ * Sync with Babel 3.9.
+ * Added support for LuaTeX.
+ * Added support for Tibetan (end of lines are experimental).
+
+1.2.0e (28-04-2012)
+ * Fixed a number of outstanding and not very interesting bugs.
+ * Added gloss files for Romansh and Friulan, contributed by Claudio
+ Beccari.
+
+1.2.0d (12-01-2012)
+ * Removed \makeatletter and \makeother from gloss files entirely.
+
+1.2.0cc (12-10-2011) [First update by Arthur Reutenauer]
+ * Update to gloss-italian.ldf by Claudio Beccari, incorporating changes
+ by Enrico Gregorio.
+ * Conclude every gloss file with \makeatother to match the initial
+ \makeatletter. (Not necessary from a technical point of vue, because of one of the changes by Enrico reported below, but I like it better that way :-)
+ * Conclude polyglossia.sty with \ExplSyntaxOff to match the initial
+ \ExplSyntaxOn.
+ * Added gloss file for Kannada, contributed by Aravinda VK and others.
+ * Corrections to the gloss-dutch.ldf thanks to Wouter Bolsterlee.
+ * Several patches by Enrico Gregorio, fixing long-standing bugs.
+ From the git log:
+ - Deleted setup for right-to-left writing direction, see http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2011-April/020319.html
+ - Changed three appearances of \newcommand to \newrobustcmd, as the commands needs to be protected. Bug reported by "kamensky".
+ - Corrected \datepolish as suggested by Piotr Kempa
+ - Changed \lccode" into \lccode\string", because it might come into action at wrong times when " is active
+ - Changed definition of key xpg@setup, as \@tmpfirst and \@tmpsecond were not expanded, causing dependence of \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin to the last loaded language. Raised by Vadim Rodionov on the XeTeX mailing list.
+ - Deleted \bgroup and \egroup tokens from the definition of otherlanguage*; they serve no purpose (we are already inside an environment) and conflict with csquotes. Noticed by P. Lehman.
+ - Changed the calls of \input to \xpg@input, which inputs the required file and resets the catcode of @ to the same value as it had before the input. Since each .ldf file starts with \makeatletter, the old behaviour would leave a category 11 @, which is wrong.
+ - Added "\csuse{date#2}" to the definition of "otherlanguage*"
+
+
+1.2.0b (03-10-2011) [Update by Philipp Stephani]
+ * Load xkeyval package explicitly since newer versions
+ of fontspec don't load it any more
+
+1.2.0a (27-07-2010) [Last update by François Charette]
+ * Initialize \fontfamily acc to value of \familydefault
+ (Fixes a bug when using polyglossia with beamer)
+ * Remove spurious space in def of \dateenglish
+ * Add missing English variant "american"
+ * Serbian: fix date format and captions (Latin+Cyrillic)
+ * Fix \atticnumeral in gloss-greek
+ * Small improvements and fixes in documentation
+
+
+1.2.0 (15-07-2010)
+ * Adapted for fontspec 2.0 (will not work with earlier versions!)
+ * New implementation of a \PolyglossiaSetup interface
+ that simplifies writing gloss-*.ldf files
+ * Many internal enhancements and refactoring
+ (including a patch by Dirk Ulrich)
+ * Improved automatic font setup when \<lang>font is not defined
+ * New environment otherlanguage* (env. equivalent of \foreignlanguage
+ (Enrico Gregorio)
+ * Bugfix to prevent bogus expansion of \{rm,sf,tt}family even in aux files
+ (Enrico Gregorio)

+ * Corrected captions for Bahasai, Lithuanian, Russian, Croatian
+ * Add option indentfirst=true for Spanish, Croation and other languages
+ (NB: indentfirst was previously named frenchindent)
+ * New option 'script' for German: Setting script=fraktur modifies the
+ captions for typesetting in Fraktur.
+ * New command \aemph for Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc. to mark emphasis through
+ overlining.
+ * Package option 'nolocalmarks' is now true by default: to activate it the
+ option 'localmarks' must be passed instead.
+ * Loading languages à la Babel as package options is no longer possible (this
+ feature was deprecated since v1.1.0).
+
+1.1.1 (23-03-2010)
+ * Bugfix for French: explicit spaces before/after double punctuation
+ signs ("Par exemple : les grands « espaces » du Canada ! ") are
+ now replaced by the appropriate non-breaking spaces, as in Babel.
+ * Bugfix for font switching mechanism within Latin script
+ (pending a complete re-implementation in v1.2):
+ the font shape and series are no longer reset when switching language.
+ * New macros for non-Western decimal digits
+ (instead of fontmappings)
+ * New gloss files for Asturian, Lithuanian and Urdu
+ * hijrical.sty is now locale-aware: \hijritoday is
+ formatted differently in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Turkish
+ and Bahasa Indonesia.
+---NB: the above five items were not part of v1.1.1-rc1 which was made available on github---
+ * Enable babelshorthands for Dutch

+\section{Introduction}
+
+Polyglossia is a package for facilitating multilingual typesetting with
+\XeLaTeX\ and (at an early stage) \LuaLaTeX. Basically, it
+can be used as a replacement of \pkg{babel} for performing the following
+tasks automatically:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Loading the appropriate hyphenation patterns.
+\item Setting the script and language tags of the current font (if possible and
+ available), via the package \pkg{fontspec}.
+\item Switching to a font assigned by the user to a particular script or language.
+\item Adjusting some typographical conventions according to the current language
+ (such as afterindent, frenchindent, spaces before or after punctuation marks,
+ etc.).
+\item Redefining all document strings (like “chapter”, “figure”, “bibliography”).
+\item Adapting the formatting of dates (for non-Gregorian calendars via external
+ packages bundled with polyglossia: currently the Hebrew, Islamic and Farsi
+ calendars are supported).
+\item For languages that have their own numbering system, modifying the formatting
+ of numbers appropriately (this also includes redefining the alphabetic sequence
+ for non-Latin alphabets).\footnote{ %
+ For the Arabic script this is now done by the bundled package \pkg{arabicnumbers}.}
+\item Ensuring proper directionality if the document contains languages
+ that are written from right to left (via the package \pkg{bidi},
+ available separately).
+\end{enumerate}
+
+Several features of \pkg{babel} that do not make sense in the \XeTeX\ world (like font
+encodings, shorthands, etc.) are not supported.
+Generally speaking, \pkg{polyglossia} aims to remain as compatible as possible
+with the fundamental features of \pkg{babel} while being cleaner, light-weight,
+and modern. The package \pkg{antomega} has been very beneficial in our attempt to
+reach this objective.
+
+\paragraph{Requirements:} The current version of \pkg{polyglossia} makes use of some convenient
+macros defined in the \pkg{etoolbox} package by Philipp Lehmann. Being designed
+for \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX, it obviously also relies on \pkg{fontspec} by Will
+Robertson. For languages written from right to left, it needs the package \pkg{bidi}
+by Vafa Khalighi (\textarabic{وفا خليقي}). Polyglossia also bundles three packages for calendaric
+computations (\pkg{hebrewcal}, \pkg{hijrical}, and \pkg{farsical}).
+
+\section{Loading language definition files}
+
+\subsection{The recommended way}
+You can determine the default language by means of the command:
+ \displaycmd{\setdefaultlanguage[⟨options⟩]\{lang\}}{\setdefaultlanguage}
+(or equivalently \Cmd\setmainlanguage).
+Secondary languages can be loaded with
+ \displaycmd{\setotherlanguage[⟨options⟩]\{lang\}.}{\setotherlanguage}
+These commands have the advantage of being explicit and of allowing you to set
+language-specific options.\footnote{ %
+ More on language-specific options below.}
+It is also possible to load a series of secondary languages at once using
+ \displaycmd{\setotherlanguages\{lang1,lang2,lang3,…\}.}{\setotherlanguages}
+Language-specific options can be set or changed at any time by means of
+ \displaycmd{\setkeys\{⟨lang⟩\}\{opt1=value1,opt2=value2,…\}.}{\setkeys}
+
+
+\subsection{The “Babel way”}
+\new{v1.2.0}
+{\color{red}\bfseries Warning}: \pkg{polyglossia} no longer supports loading
+language definition files as package options!
+%As with \pkg{babel}, \pkg{polyglossia} also allows you to load language definition files
+%as package options. In most cases, option \texttt{⟨lang⟩} will load the file
+%\file{gloss-⟨lang⟩.ldf}. Note however that the \textit{first} language listed in \\
+%\centerline{\cmd{\usepackage[lang1,lang2,…]{polyglossia}}}
+%will be the default language for the document, which
+%is the opposite convention of \pkg{babel}.
+%Note also that this method may not work in some cases, and should be
+%considered deprecated.
+
+\subsection{Supported languages}
+
+Table~\ref{tab:lang} lists all languages currently supported.
+Those in red have specific options and/or commands
+that are explained in section \ref{specific} below.

+\end{table}
+
+\textit{NB:} The support for Amharic\new{v1.0.1} should be considered an experimental attempt to
+port the package \pkg{ethiop}.\footnote{ Feedback is welcome.}
+Version 1.1.1\new{v1.1.1} addded support for Asturian, %\footnote{ Provided by Kevin Godby and Xuacu Saturio.},
+Lithuanian, %\footnote{ Provided by Kevin Godby and Paulius Sladkevičius.},
+and Urdu. %\footnote{ Provided by Kamal Abdali.}
+%
+Version 1.2\new{v1.2.0} adds support for Armenian, Occitan, Bengali,
+Lao, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Turkmen.\footnote{ %
+ See acknowledgements at the end for due credit to the various contributors.}
+
+
+
+Polyglossia can also be loaded with the option
+‘babelshorthands’\new{v1.1.1}, which globally activates \pkg{babel}
+shorthands whenever available. Currently shorthands are implemented for
+Catalan, Dutch, German, Italian, and Russian: see these respective
+languages for details.
+
+Another option (turned off by default) is ‘localmarks’, which
+redefines the internal \LaTeX\ macros \cmd\markboth\ and \cmd\markright.
+\new{v1.2.0}Note that this was formerly turned on by default, but ẃe
+now realize that it causes more problems than otherwise. For backwards-compatibility
+the opposite option ‘nolocalmarks’ is still available.
+
+There is also the option ‘quiet’ which turns off most info messages and some of the warnings
+issued by \LaTeX, \pkg{fontspec} and \pkg{polyglossia}.
+
+\section{Language-switching commands}
+
+Whenever a language definition file \file{gloss-⟨lang⟩.ldf} is loaded,
+the command \cmd{\text⟨lang⟩[⟨options⟩]\{…\}} \DescribeMacro{\text⟨lang⟩}
+becomes available for short insertions of text in that language.
+For example ¦\textrussian{\today}¦ yields \textrussian{\today}
+Longer passages are better put between the environment ¦⟨lang⟩¦
+(again with the possibility of setting language options locally.
+\DescribeEnv{⟨lang⟩}
+For instance the following allows us to quote the beginning
+of Homer’s \textit{Iliad}:
+
+\begin{Verbatim}[formatcom=\color{myblue}]
+\begin{greek}[variant=ancient]
+μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε'
+ἔθηκε, πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προί̈αψεν ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια
+τεῦχε κύνεσσιν οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλή, ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ
+πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε Ἀτρεί̈δης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.
+\end{greek}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+\begin{greek}[variant=ancient]
+μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε,
+πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προί̈αψεν ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
+οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλή, ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
+Ἀτρεί̈δης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.
+\end{greek}
+\bigskip
+
+Note that for Arabic one cannot use the environment ¦arabic¦,
+as \cmd\arabic\ is defined internally by \LaTeX. In this case
+we need to use the environment ¦Arabic¦ instead\DescribeEnv{Arabic}.
+
+\subsection{Other commands}
+The following commands are probably of lesser interest to the end user, but
+ought to be mentioned here.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \Cmd\selectbackgroundlanguage: this selects the global font setup and
+ the numbering definitions for the default language.
+
+\item \Cmd\resetdefaultlanguage\ (experimental):
+ completely switches the default language
+ to another one in the middle of a document: \textit{this may have adverse effects}!
+
+\item \Cmd\normalfontlatin: in an environment where \cmd\normalfont\ has been redefined
+ to a non-latin script, this will call the font defined with \cmd\setmainfont\ etc.
+ Likewise it is possible to use \Cmd\rmfamilylatin, \Cmd\sffamilylatin,
+ and \Cmd\ttfamilylatin.
+
+\item Some macros defined in \pkg{babel}’s \file{hyphen.cfg} (and thus usually
+ compiled into the \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX\ format) are redefined, but keep a similar
+ behaviour, namely \Cmd\selectlanguage, \Cmd\foreignlanguage,
+ and the environment ¦otherlanguage¦\DescribeEnv{otherlanguage}.
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Since the \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX\ format incorporate \pkg{babel}’s \file{hyphen.cfg},
+the low-level commands for hyphenation and language switching
+defined there are also accessible.
+
+\section{Font setup}
+
+With polyglossia it is possible to associate a specific font with any script or language
+that occurs in the document. That font should always be defined as
+¦\⟨script⟩font¦\ or ¦\⟨language⟩font¦.
+For instance, if the default font defined by \cmd\setmainfont\
+does not support Greek, then one can define the font used to display Greek with:\\
+\centerline{ \cmd\newfontfamily\cmd{\greekfont[Script=Greek,⟨…⟩]\{⟨font⟩\}}. }
+Note that polyglossia will use the font thus defined as is.
+for instance if ¦\arabicfont¦ is explicitly defined, then one should take care of
+including the option ¦Script=Arabic¦ in that definition.
+See the \pkg{fontspec} documentation for more information.
+If a specific sans or monospace font is needed for a particular script or language,
+it can be defined by means of \new{v1.2.0}
+¦\⟨script⟩fontsf¦\ or ¦\⟨language⟩fontsf¦ and ¦\⟨script⟩fonttt¦\ or ¦\⟨language⟩fonttt¦, respectively.
+
+Whenever a new language is activated, \pkg{polyglossia} will first check whether
+a font has been defined for that language or – for languages in non-Latin scripts –
+for the script it uses. If it is not defined, it will use the currently active font
+and – in the case of OpenType fonts – will attempt to turn on the appropriate
+OpenType tags for the script and language used, in case these are available in
+the font, by means of \pkg{fontspec}’s \cmd\addfontfeature. If the current font
+does not appear to support the script of that language, an error message is
+displayed.
+
+\section{Language-specific options and commands}\label{specific}
+
+This section gives a list of all languages for which options and end-user commands are defined.
+The default value of each option is given in italic.
+
+%\subsection{amharic}\label{amharic}
+
+\subsection{arabic}\label{arabic}
+\textbf{Options}:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \TB{calendar} = \textit{gregorian} or islamic (= hijri)
+ \item \TB{locale} = \textit{default},\footnote{ %
+ For Egypt, Sudan, Yemen and the Gulf states.}
+ mashriq,\footnote{ %
+ For Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine.}
+ libya, algeria, tunisia, morocco, or mauritania.
+ This setting influences the spelling of the month names for the Gregorian calendar,
+ as well as the form of the numerals (unless overriden by the following option).
+ \item \TB{numerals} = \textit{mashriq} or maghrib
+ (the latter is the default when locale = algeria, tunisia or morocco)
+ \item \TB{abjadjimnotail} = \textit{false} or true. \new{v1.0.3}
+ Set this to true if you want the \textit{abjad} form of the number three to be \textarabic{ج‍} – as in the manuscript tradition – instead of the modern usage \textarabic{ج}.
+ \end{itemize}
+\textbf{Commands}:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \Cmd\abjad and \Cmd\abjadmaghribi (see section \ref{abjad})
+ \item \Cmd\aemph to emphasize text with ¦\overline¦.\new{v1.2.0}
+ ¦\textarabic{\aemph{اب}}¦ yields \textarabic{\aemph{اب}}.
+ This command is also available for Farsi, Urdu, etc.
+ \end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{bengali}\label{bengali}\new{v1.2.0}
+\textbf{Options}:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \TB{numerals} = Western or \textit{Devanagari}
+ \end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{catalan}\label{catalan}
+\textbf{Options:}
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item \TB{babelshorthands} = \textit{false} or true. \new{v1.1.1}
+ Activates the shorthands \texttt{"l} and \texttt{"L} to type geminated l’s.
+\end{itemize}
+\textbf{Commands}:

+ \end{itemize}
+
+To insert the word breaks, you need to use an external processor.
+See the documentation to \pkg{thai-latex} and the file \file{testthai.tex}
+that comes with this package.
+
+\section{Modifying or extending captions and date formats}
+
+To redefine internal macros, you can use the command ¦\gappto¦ from the package
+\pkg{etoolbox}. For compatibility with \pkg{babel} the command ¦\addto¦ is also available
+with the same effect. For instance, to change the ¦\chaptername¦ for language ¦lingua¦,
+you can do this:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\gappto\captionslingua{\renewcommand{\chaptername}{Caput}}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section{Non-Western decimal digits}
+
+Several scripts have their own versions of the decimal digits commonly called
+‘Arabic numerals’. With the appropriate language option set, \pkg{polyglossia}
+will automatically convert the output of internal \LaTeX\ counters to their
+localized forms, for instance to display page, chapter and section numbers.
+
+In previous versions this conversion was achieved my means of TECKit fontmappings.
+If needed they can be activated with the fontspec ¦Mapping¦ option,
+using ¦arabicdigits¦, ¦farsidigits¦ or ¦thaidigits¦.
+For instance if \cmd\arabicfont\ is defined with the option ¦Mapping=arabicdigits¦,
+then by typing ¦\textarabic{2010}¦ one will obtain \textarabic{٢٠١٠}.
+
+With version v1.1.1\new{v1.1.1} the same conversion is achieved directly by
+simple \TeX\ macros. This prevents some problems that occur when the value of a
+counter has to be written and read from auxiliary files.\footnote{ %
+ For instance the package \pkg{lastpage} did not work with \pkg{polyglossia} in situations
+ where the display of counters was redefined to include a font-switching command.}
+These macros (currently \Cmd\arabicdigits, \Cmd\farsidigits\ and \Cmd\thaidigits\ are provided)
+are also available to the users. For instance in an Arabic environment
+¦\arabicdigits{9182/738543-X}¦ yields
+\textarabic{\arabicdigits{9182/738543-X}}.
+
+\section{Alphabetic numbering in Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac and Farsi}\label{abjad}
+
+In certain languages, numbers can be represented
+by a special alphanumerical notation.\footnote{ %
+ See, e.g., \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals},
+ \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjad_numerals},
+ and \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_numerals}.}
+ %% \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syriac_alphabet}
+
+The Greek numerals are obtained with \Cmd\greeknumeral (or \Cmd\Greeknumeral\ in uppercase).
+Example: ¦\greeknumeral{1863}¦ yields \textgreek{\greeknumeral{1863}}.
+
+The Arabic \textit{abjad} numbers can be generated with the command \Cmd\abjad.
+Example: ¦\abjad{1863}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjad{1863}}.
+In the Maghrib the conventions are somewhat different, and the maghribi forms
+of the \textit{abjad} numerals are obtained with the \Cmd\abjadmaghribi\ command.
+Example: ¦\abjadmaghribi{1863}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjadmaghribi{1863}}.
+
+The code for Hebrew numerals, which was incorrect in previous versions, was
+ported from the implementation in \pkg{babel} with v1.1.1\new{v1.1.1}, and the
+user interface is identical to the one in \pkg{babel}.
+The commands \Cmd\hebrewnumeral, \Cmd\Hebrewnumeral and \Cmd\Hebrewnumeralfinal\ behave exactly
+as they do in \pkg{babel}: the second command prints the number with \textit{gereshayim} before
+the last letter, and the latter uses in addition the final forms of Hebrew letters.
+Examples:
+¦\hebrewnumeral{1750}¦ yields \texthebrew{\hebrewnumeral{1750}},
+¦\Hebrewnumeral{1750}¦ yields \texthebrew{\Hebrewnumeral{1750}},
+and ¦\Hebrewnumeralfinal{1750}¦ yields \texthebrew{\Hebrewnumeralfinal{1750}}.
+
+
+Support is also provided for Syriac abjad numerals, which can be generated
+with \Cmd\abjadsyriac.\footnote{ %
+A fine guide to numerals in Syriac can be found at \link{http://www.garzo.co.uk/documents/syriac-numerals.pdf}.}
+Example: ¦\abjadsyriac{463}¦ yields \textsyriac{\abjadsyriac{463}}.
+
+
+\section{Calendars}
+
+\subsection{Hebrew calendar (hebrewcal.sty)}
+The package \file{hebrewcal.sty} is almost a verbatim copy of \file{hebcal.sty}
+that comes with \pkg{babel}.
+The command \Cmd\Hebrewtoday\ formats the current date in the Hebrew calendar
+(depending of the current writing direction this will automatically set either
+in Hebrew script or in roman transliteration).
+
+\subsection{Islamic calendar (hijrical.sty)}
+This package computes dates in the lunar Islamic (Hijra) calendar.\footnote{ %
+ It makes use of the arithmetical algorithm in chapter 6 of
+ Reingold \& Gershowitz, \textit{Calendrical calculation: the Millenium edition}
+ (Cambridge University Press, 2001).\label{reingold}}
+It provides two macros for the end-user.
+The command
+ \displaycmd{\HijriFromGregorian\{⟨year⟩\}\{⟨month⟩\}\{⟨day⟩\}}{\HijriFromGregorian}
+sets the counters ¦Hijriday¦, ¦Hijrimonth¦ and ¦Hijriyear¦.
+\Cmd\Hijritoday\ formats the Hijri date for the current day.
+This command is now locale-aware\new{v1.1.1}: its output will differ depending on the
+currently active language. Presently \pkg{polyglossia}’s language definition files
+for Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Turkish, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu
+provide a localized version of ¦\Hijritoday¦.
+If the formatting macro for the current language is undefined, the Hijri date will be formatted
+in Arabic or in roman transliteration, depending of the current writing direction.
+You can define a new format or redefine one with the command
+ \displaycmd{\DefineHijriDateFormat\{<lang>\}\{<code>\}.}{\DefineHijriDateFormat}
+
+The command ¦\Hijritoday¦ also accepts an optional argument to add or subtract a correction
+(in days) to the date computed by the arithmetical algorithm.\footnote{ %
+ The Islamic calendar is indeed a purely lunar calendar based on the observation
+ of the first visibility of the lunar crescent at the beginning of the lunar month,
+ so there can be differences between different localities, as well as between
+ civil and religious authorities.}
+For instance if ¦\Hijritoday¦ yields the date “7 Rajab 1429” (which is the date that was
+displayed on the front page of \href{http://www.aljazeera.net}{aljazeera.net} on
+11th July 2008), ¦\Hijritoday[1]¦ would rather print “8 Rajab 1429” (the date
+indicated the same day on the site \href{http://www.gulfnews.com}{gulfnews.com}).
+
+\subsection{Farsi (jalālī) calendar (farsical.sty)}
+This package is an almost verbatim copy of ¦Arabiftoday.sty¦ (in the \pkg{Arabi} package),
+itself a slight modification of ¦ftoday.sty¦ in Farsi\TeX.\footnote{ %
+ One day I may rewrite \pkg{farsical} from scratch using the algorithm in
+ Reingold \& Gershowitz (ref.~n.~\ref{reingold}).}
+Here we have renamed the command \cmd\ftoday\ to
+\Cmd\Jalalitoday.
+Example: today is \Jalalitoday.

+\section{Acknowledgements (by François Charette)}
+\pkg{Polyglossia} is notable for being a recycle box of previous contributions
+by other people. I take this opportunity to thank the following individuals,
+whose splendid work has made my task almost trivial in comparision: Johannes
+Braams and the numerous contributors to the \pkg{babel}{} package (in particular
+Boris Lavva and others for its Hebrew support), Alexej Kryukov (\pkg{antomega}), Will
+Robertson (\pkg{fontspec}), Apostolos Syropoulos (\pkg{xgreek}), Youssef Jabri
+(\pkg{arabi}), and Vafa Khalighi (\pkg{xepersian} and \pkg{bidi}).
+The work of Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer on hyphenation patterns with their package
+\pkg{hyph-utf8} is of course invaluable. I should also thank other
+individuals for their assistance in supporting specific languages: Yves Codet
+(Sanskrit), Zdenek Wagner (Hindi), Mikhal Oren (Hebrew), Sergey Astanin (Russian),
+Khaled Hosny (Arabic), Sertaç Ö. Yıldız (Turkish), Kamal Abdali (Urdu),
+and several other members of the \XeTeX\ user community, notably Enrico Gregorio, who
+has sent me many useful suggestions and corrections and contributed the ¦\newXeTeXintercharclass¦
+mechanism in xelatex.ini which is now used by polyglossia.
+More recently, Kevin Godby of the \href{http://ubuntu-manual.org}{Ubuntu Manual} project has
+contributed very useful feedback, bug hunting and, with the help of translators,
+new language definition files for Asturian, Lithuanian, Occitan, Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.
+It is particularly heartening to realize that this package is used to typeset a widely-read
+document in dozens of different languages!
+Support for Lao was also added thanks to Brian Wilson.
+I also thank Alan Munn for kindly proof-reading the penultimate version of this documentation.
+And of course my gratitude also goes to Jonathan Kew, the formidable author of \XeTeX!
