What’s new in babel 3.47

2020-07-13

Creating new locales

Creating a new locale has never been easier, thanks to a set of pre-built ini+tex templates for about 500 languages. See Locale templates. Remember there is also a tool to create ldf files with the help of a GUI here.

Fixes

• Spurious spaces when autoloading locales (bug introduced in 3.46 when fixing #80).
• In dtx files, autoloading printed some spurious text (because % is set to ignore, #87).

Other changes

• A new tool: \getlocaleproperty*, which doesn’t raise an error.
