Two commands to set up the language aspects
Today, with the international use of the UTF-8 standard for input and output encoding, you only need two commands and the language tag you want in brackets:
- \mainlanguage, to set the language of auto-generated language elements, like the title of the table of contents or the appendix.
- \language, to change the hyphenation rules, quotation marks, all that sort of thing, to that of a different language. (The default language is English.)
Language-specific pages
- Arabic and Hebrew
- Chinese Japanese and Korean
