## Babel 3.52
This package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other)
rules, and hyphenation patterns for a wide range of languages. Many
language styles work with pdflatex, as well as with xelatex and
lualatex out of the box. A few even work with plain formats.
The latest stable version is available on <https://ctan.org/pkg/babel>.
Changes in version 3.52 are described in:
https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.52
Included is a set of ini files for about 250 languages.
The best way to install and/or update it is with the help of package
managers.
### Reporting Bugs
If you wish to report a problem or bug in any of these packages please
use the
[Issue Tracker for LaTeX2e on GitHub](https://github.com/latex3/babel/issues)
and follow the guidelines that pop up if you press the `New issue`
button.
In particular, to check that you are really seeing a bug, please write
a short, self-contained document that shows the problem. This should
include the `latexbug` package, which will warn if your test file is
not suitable for one or the other reason. See the
[CONTRIBUTING guide](https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
for further details, or if you need to obtain the `latexbug` package.
If the bug turns out to be with third-party software then please
contact the developer, and not us!
You may also report them to the current maintainer more informally on:
http://www.texnia.com/contact.html
Bugs related to specific languages are best reported to their
respective authors.
### Latest changes
```
3.52 2020-12-16

https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.52
3.50 2020-10-06
* Fixes:
- main=<language> stopped working in some cases (#96).

https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.50
3.49 2020-10-03

* Allow standard LaTeX syntax to recognize locales based on ini
files in the most common cases.
* frenchspacing is set with ini files.
* Fixes:
- layout.lists=off didn't work (#94)
https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.49
3.48 2020-09-01
* New (tentative) tools to customize some labels (like chapters
in CJK and Hungarian).

https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.48
3.47 2020-07-13
* Fixes:
- Spurious spaces when autoloading locales (bug introduced
in 3.46 when fixing #80).
- In dtx files, autoloading printed some spurious text
(because % is set to ignore, #87).
* New - \getlocaleproperty*, which doesn't raise an error.
* Basic ini+tex templates for about 500 languages in the GitHub
repository.
https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.47
3.46 2020-07-06
* Languages can now be optionally selected with their BCP 47
tags.
* \BabelEnsureInfo now loads the basic data for the requested
languages immediately (formerly it was done at the end of the
preamble).
* Fixes:
- Getting rid of the hyphen in XeTeX was not working as
expected. A new procedure has been devised.
- tag.bcp47 now contains what its name promises, instead of
just the language subtag (#70).
- Locale info was not loaded if the name had uppercase letters
in some OSs (#80).
- The [..|..] syntax in ini dates didn't recognize 'digits'.
https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.46
3.45 2020-06-10
* Minor fixes in Hindi, Ancient Greek, Macedonian.
* Improvements in Kurdish, Marathi.
* Alternative date formats with \localedate[calendar=...,
variant=...]{y}{m}{d} (note: no calendar computations, just
strings).
* \today is (again) case-aware.
* \localenumeral{digits}{..} and \localecounter{digits}{cntr}
for native digits.
* Fixes
- Improved handling of math with \babelposthyphenation and
\babelprehyphenation (it was ignoring too much).
- An error related to \bbl@foreign@x could be raised in some
rare cases.
