THE POLYGLOSSIA PACKAGE v2.9

Multilingual typesetting with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX

This package provides an alternative to Babel for users of XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. This version includes support for over 80 different languages, some of which in different regional or national varieties, or using a different writing system.

Polyglossia makes it possible to automate the following tasks:

  • Loading the appropriate hyphenation patterns.
  • Setting the script and language tags of the current font (if possible and available), using the package fontspec.
  • Switching to a font assigned by the user to a particular script or language.
  • Adjusting some typographical conventions in function of the current language (such as afterindent, frenchindent, spaces before or after punctuation marks, etc.).
  • Redefining the document strings (like “chapter”, “figure”, “bibliography”).
  • Adapting the formatting of dates (for non-gregorian calendars via external packages bundled with polyglossia: currently the Hebrew, Islamic and Farsi calendars are supported).
  • For languages that have their own numeration system, modifying the formatting of numbers appropriately.
  • Ensuring the proper directionality if the document contains languages written from right to left (via the packages bidi and luabidi, available separately).
