+# NOTES:
+#
+# * If we provide Polyglossia languages with different options, the default
+#   options (such as "variant=american", "spelling=modern") should be
+#   explicitely spelled out (in order to provide mixing of such variants).
+# * Omitted elements will be treated as empty (if string) or "false"
+#   (if boolean).
+# * When HasGuiSupport is true, the language is candidate to appear in
+#   the list of possible GUI languages in the Preferences dialog. It
+#   will actually appear there only if a corresponding .mo file can be
+#   found among the translations. When several languages correspond to
+#   the same translation -- like English, English (US) and English
+#   (UK) -- try to select the entry that is most generic -- here
+#   English.
+# * The QuoteStyle arguments correspond to the following styles:
+# 		   PRIMARY		SECONDARY
+#   - british:	  `text'		``text''	(6_9 -- 66_99)
+#   - cjk:        corner brackets	white corner br.
+#   - cjk-angle:  double angle br.	angle br.
+#   - danish:	  >>text<<		>text<		(inward guillemets)
+#   - english:	  ``text''		`text'		(66_99 -- 6_9)
+#   - french:	  <<text>>		``text''	(outward guillemets -- 66_99)
+#   - frenchin:   <<text>>		<<text>>	(French Imprimerie Nationale style)
+#   - german:	  ,,text``		,text`		(99/66 -- 9/6)
+#   - polish:	  ,,text''		,text'		(99/99 -- 9/9)
+#   - russian:    <<text>>		,,text``       	(outward guillemets -- 99/66)
+#   - swedish:	  ''text''		'text'		(99_99 -- 9_9)
+#   - swedishg:   >>text>>		'text'		(Swedish Guillemets)
+#   - swiss:	  <<text>>		<text>		(outward guillemets)
+#   - plain:	  "text"		'text'		(non-typographical quotes)
+#   Note that the option names have been selected (rather arbitrarily)
+#   because the respective styles are common in the respective countries.
+#   Of course this does not imply any fixed relation to those countries.
+# * DateFormats lists the localized conventions for three date forms:
+#   - Long: December 1, 2018
+#   - Medium: Dec 1, 2018
+#   - Short: 1/12/2018
+#   These are separated by | and use the QDate syntax:
+#   * d	the day as number without a leading zero (1 to 31)
+#   * dd	the day as number with a leading zero (01 to 31)
+#   * ddd	the abbreviated localized day name (e.g. 'Mon' to 'Sun')
+#   * dddd	the long localized day name (e.g. 'Monday' to 'Sunday')
+#   * M	the month as number without a leading zero (1 to 12)
+#   * MM	the month as number with a leading zero (01 to 12)
+#   * MMM	the abbreviated localized month name (e.g. 'Jan' to 'Dec')
+#   * MMMM	the long localized month name (e.g. 'January' to 'December')
+#   * yy	the year as two digit number (00 to 99)
+#   * yyyy	the year as four digit number
+# * Encoding is the default encoding used with TeX fonts.
+#   It is only used if Document > Settings > Language > Encoding
+#   is set to "Language Default" or "Language Default (no inputenc)"
+#   and "use non-TeX fonts" is FALSE.
+#   Encoding "inherit" means: keep encoding of the context (used by
+#   latex_language).
+# * FontEncoding is a bar-separated list of font encodings.
+#   The first value is the required font encoding for correct hyphenation with
+#   8-bit TeX (http://www.hyphenation.org). Eventually following values may be
+#   used if the selected font is unavailable in FontEncoding. They provide all
+#   letters used in the language, but some only as "surrogate pairs" with
+#   possible problems for hyphenation and drag-and-drop from the generated
+#   documents. Default: "ASCII".
+#   * "FontEncoding ASCII" means: "works with any standard text encoding
+#     (T<n>) as well as OT1".
+#   * "FontEncoding none" tells LyX that fontenc should not be loaded with
+#     this language.
+# * InternalEncoding is used to tell LyX that babel internally sets a
+#   non-standard font encoding (such as hebrew to LHE or greek to LGR).
+#   If True, LyX takes care for characters/macros that do not exist in
+#   some font encodings ("<", ">", "|" and straight quote).
+#   It is not required for standard encodings like T2A. See bug #5091.
+# * AsBabelOptions advices LyX to pass the languages locally to babel, not
+#   globally to the class. In the old days, some languages (basically those
+#   not natively supported by babel) needed this.
+#   FIXME: in this case, we might still need to pass the other languages
+#          globally, for the use of other packages (such as varioref).
+# * LangCode is also used for spellchecking and thesaurus, where the
+#   dictionaries are named accordingly. Thus, check this when introducing/
+#   changing language codes (especially aspell, thesaurus).
+#   TODO: maybe use Best Current Practice (BCP 47) codes for LangCode
+#         http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt
+#         http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/
+#         http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry
+# * LangVariety is used by the aspell spellchecker to differentiate
+#   dictionaries for different varieties of a given language (e.g. German
+#   pre-1998 and post-1998 spelling). The aspell dictionaries are named
+#   language[_REGION][-variety].multi, e.g. de-alt.multi for "German (old
+#   spelling)" (see http://aspell.net/man-html/Dictionary-Naming.html)
+# * Provides lists features that are provided by specific Babel languages,
+#   but are available globally if this language is used (not only for this
+#   language. Examples are \textgreek (Greek) and \textcyrillic (Russian).
