Actually, if you load babel instead of polyglossia, language processing is done by babel. While in most cases the recommended language package for processing a document with XeTeX or LuaTeX is polyglossia, babel works also for many languages, especially if these languages use the Latin Script (but, e.g., the current babel-greek and babel-russian language definitions work also for Greek and Russian respectively). > Why is that so? > Can I stop babel from loading? This depends on your set up and document. We can only tell from a minimal working example. Günter
