  • Tracklang: Tracking Language Options
    tracklang v1.5: tracking language options Nicola L. C. Talbot http://www.dickimaw-books.com/ 2020-06-30 Abstract The tracklang package is provided for package developers who want a simple inter- face to find out which languages the user has requested through packages such as ba- bel and polyglossia. This package doesn’t provide any translations. Its purpose is sim- ply to track which languages have been requested by the user. Generic TEX code is in tracklang.tex for non-LATEX users. If the shell escape is enabled or \directlua is available, this package may also be used to query the LC_ALL or LANG environment variable (see Section5). Windows users, who don’t have the locale stored in environment variables, can use texosquery in combina- tion with tracklang. (Similarly if LC_ALL or LANG don’t contain sufficient information.) In order to use texosquery through the restricted shell escape, you must have at least Java 8 and set up texosquery.cfg appropriately. (See the texosquery manual for fur- ther details.) The fundamental aim of this generic package is to be able to effectively say: The user (that is, the document author) wants to use dialects xx-XX, yy-YY-Scrp, etc in their document. Any packages used by their document that provide multi- lingual or region-dependent support should do whatever is required to activate the settings for those languages and regions (or warn the user that there’s no sup- port). Naturally, this is only of use if the locale-sensitive packages use tracklang to pick up this infor- mation, which is entirely up to the package authors, but at the moment there’s no standard method for packages to detect the required language and region.
