## Babel 3.99
2023-12-10
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. Included
is a set of ini files for about 300 languages.
The latest stable version is available on <https://ctan.org/pkg/babel>.
Changes in version 3.99 are described in:
https://latex3.github.io/babel/news/whats-new-in-babel-3.99.html
Apart from the manual, you can find information on some aspects of babel at:
https://latex3.github.io/babel/
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:
https://latex3.github.io/babel/contact.html
Bugs related to specific languages are best reported to their
respective authors.
