New on CTAN: tex-locale
Nicola Talbot submitted the
tex-locale
package.
Version: 1.0 2018-08-26
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Localisation support for TeX and LaTeX documents
Announcement text:
--
This package uses both tracklang and texosquery to look
up the locale information from the operating system and
provide commands that can access locale-dependent infor-
mation, such as the currency symbol and decimal separator.
The file tex-locale.tex provides generic TeX code.
The LaTeX package tex-locale.sty can additionally load
babel or polyglossia with the locale's language setting,
as well as various other packages such as fontspec
(XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX) or fontenc + inputenc (PDFLaTeX).
LaTeX example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tex-locale}
\begin{document}
Today: \CurrentLocaleShortDate.
Currency: \CurrentLocaleCurrency.
\end{document}
TeX example:
\input tex-locale
Today: \CurrentLocaleShortDate.
Currency: \CurrentLocaleCurrency.
\bye
Note that texosquery requires the Java Runtime Environment.
See the texosquery documentation for setup instructions.
If you can't use TeX's piped shell escape, see the tex-locale
documentation for an alternative method.
