Summary description: Malagasy captions for the babel language system
Announcement text:
This new, experimental package completes Malagasy (mg) support in babel: it fills in the standard captions (chapter, contents, figure, table, etc.) that babel’s existing Malagasy locale data ships empty. Dates and captions are tested; hyphenation is not yet supported pending real hyph-utf8 patterns for Malagasy. Author: RALAHADY Bruno Bakys <ralahadybru@yahoo.fr> Feedback on the terminology choices (documented with sources and confidence levels in the package’s linguistic-policy.md) is very welcome.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/babel-malagasy The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib/babel-malagasy/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

Babel-Malagasy – Malagasy captions for the babel language system
This package completes Malagasy (BCP 47 tag mg
) support
in the babel system for LaTeX.
Modern babel already ships CLDR-derived date/month/weekday
data for Malagasy, but its standard captions (Chapter
,
Contents
, Figure
, etc.) are shipped empty.
This package fills them in with reviewed Malagasy terms
via babel’s own documented \setlocalecaption
mechanism.
