Package version: 3.9g Location on CTAN: macros/latex/required/babel/ Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

What's new

• (With fontspec) A tentative way to select font features depending on the language is provided, with a couple of macros.
• bbplain.dtx has been included in babel.dtx.

The rest of changes are some minor fixes and tools for ldf developers:

• A new mechanism to force StartBabelCommands even without the 'strings' key (UseStrings didn't work at all).
• With AfterBabelCommands macros can be defined in the global scope.
• A tool for readjusting lccodes for hyphenation (SetHyphenMap and a package option).
