+rules, and hyphenation patterns 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.  Users of XeTeX are advised to use the
+polyglossia package rather than Babel.")
