Javier Bezos López submitted an update to the
babel
package.
Version number: 3.15 2017-11-03
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
Announcement text:
New === New command \babelfont (in Unicode engines) to define language/script dependent fonts. Related to it, new keys (script, language) in \babelprovide. A common mistake is to leave some space(s) in \captions<lang>, which go to the document. Now babel removes them. A couple of fixes: - Error with hyphenrules in \babelprovide in some cases. - \hyphenrules doesn't set \languagename any more (which was against the documented behavior).

babel – Multilingual support for LaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and Plain TeX
This package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other) rules for a wide range of languages. A document may select a single language to be supported, or it may select several, in which case the document may switch from one language to another in a variety of ways.
Babel uses contributed configuration files that provide the detail of what has to be done for each language, as well as .ini files for about 300 languages from around the World, including many written in non-Latin and RTL scripts. Many of them work with pdfLaTeX, as well as with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX, out of the box. A few even work with plain formats.
