\chapter{A sample document}

\section{1st language: English}

This document illustrates some points of the package \textsf{polyglot}.
For instance, the British date is \today.

The American one is
\uselanguage[date]{american}{\today}.\\
\verb=\uselanguage[date]{american}{\today}=

\unselectlanguage
\selectlanguage*{french}

\section{2\sptext{e} langue: fran/cais}

The first things you will notice in French is the indentation of the
first line after the title, which is in the \verb=layout= group, and the
small space just before the colon. Other features are:
\begin{itemize}
\item Dashes in every level of \verb=itemize= environment.
\item Ligatures for a lot of accents (and encyclop"aedic
task). \verb=encyclop"aedic=
\item French << guillemets >>. \verb=<< guillemets >>=.
\item French spacing.
\end{itemize}

Today is \today.

\unselectlanguage
\selectlanguage*{spanish}

\section{3\sptext{er} idioma: espa~nol}

Also ligatures, guillemets, new layout, etc. Today is \today.

\clearpage

\unselectlanguage
\selectlanguage*{german}

\section{4. Sprache: Deutsche}

The usual ligatures are implemented, as "`German quotes"'
\verb="`German quotes"'=, \verb="ck=, usw.
In \verb=OT1= you get low umlauts:
"a, "o, "u. Today  is \today.

\section{5th language: hebrew}

In this section we illustrate the use of the package
for romanizing languages. In \verb=r_hebrew= we define
some ligatures which simplifly the typing of text (following
the ISO recomendations, with lots of diacritic marks). For example:
\let\k\c
\begin{quote}
\selectlanguage{hebrew}
b.ar-.a, tim-z-.en".a, te-z-e, r-o^s, y.av^o'', k.al^u'', n.av^i'',
p.ar".a, z".e, q'en"e, g.al"o, b.an.a(y)w, r'e''iyy".a, h.a--.ar.e-z,
w.e--'.e-d^om, r^ua.h
\end{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
b.ar-.a, tim-z-.en".a, te-z-e, r-o^s, y.av^o'',
k.al^u'', n.av^i'', p.ar".a, z".e, q'en"e,
g.al"o, b.an.a(y)w, r'e''iyy".a, h.a--.ar.e-z,
w.e--'.e-d^om, r^ua.h
\end{verbatim}
