Summary description: Multilingual support for LaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and Plain TeX
Announcement text:
Changes in version 3.75 are described in: https://latex3.github.io/babel/news/whats-new-in-babel-3.75.html Here is a summary: * `\BabelEnsureInfo` is active by default, to make sure the BCP 47 codes are always available, as they may be required by the LaTeX kernel. * `\localeinfo*` is like `\localeinfo` but expands to empty if unknown (fully expandable). * The key `character`/`ranges` in `ini` files now sets the corresponding Unicode script ranges (as used by `onchar`). * Fixes: - Misplaced rule un diagbox (#43) - Caption names of 'chapter' and 'part' swapped in Chinese (#180). - Captions after numbers in Lithuanian. - `hyphenrules` in the `ini` files for `en-AU` and `en-NZ` where set to `english` instead of `ukenglish`.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/babel The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/babel/base/

babel – Multilingual support for LaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and Plain TeX
This package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other) rules for a wide range of languages. A document may select a single language to be supported, or it may select several, in which case the document may switch from one language to another in a variety of ways.
Babel uses contributed configuration files that provide the detail of what has to be done for each language, as well as .ini files for about 300 languages from around the World, including many written in non-Latin and RTL scripts. Many of them work with pdfLaTeX, as well as with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX, out of the box. A few even work with plain formats.
