The multilang Package
=======================
Copyright (C) 2016-2018 Richard Grewe
Released under the [LaTeX Project Public License](http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/) version 1.2 or later
## Abstract
Maintaining a LaTeX document with translations for multiple languages
can be cumbersome and error-prone.
The `multilang` package provides a set of macros for defining macros and
environments as wrappers around existing macros and environments.
These wrappers allow one to clearly specify multiple translations for the
arguments to the wrapped macros and environments while only the
translation of the document's language is actually shown.
Choosing a translation then is as simple as choosing the document's
language via `babel` or `polyglossia`.
## Availability
The `multilang` package is on [CTAN](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/multilang),
where you can also find the [documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/multilang/multilang.pdf),
as well as on [github](https://github.com/Ri-Ga/multilang).
## Manual Installation
The `multilang` package comes with (at least) the following files
* multilang.ins
* multilang.dtx
* README.md
and possibly also with
* Makefile
* multilang.pdf (generated from multilang.dtx)
* multilang.sty (generated from multilang.dtx)
To install the `multilang` package, you additionally need
* docstrip.tex
To build the package (`multilang.sty`), run one of the following
```
latex multilang.ins
make package (needs Makefile)
```
Put the resulting `multilang.sty` somewhere where LaTeX can find it.
Read the documentation of your LaTeX system to find out where this
might be.
## Building Documentation
To build the documentation of the `multilang` package, you additionally
need the following classes and packages (including their dependencies)
* ltxdoc
* babel
* cleveref
* csquotes
* datetime2
* enumitem
* environ
* etoolbox
* hypdoc
* idxlayout
* pbox
* pgfkeys
* pgfopts
* sectionbox
* showexpl
* translations
* xcolor
* xspace
as well as
* pdflatex
To build the documentation (`multilang.pdf`), either run
```
make docs
```
or the following sequence of commands
```
pdflatex multilang.dtx
makeindex -s gind.ist -o multilang.ind multilang.idx
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o multilang.gls multilang.glo
pdflatex multilang.dtx
pdflatex multilang.dtx
```
Happy TeX'ing
