Apart from that you need to submit translation for your language (see
lang-ger.tex and lang-bal.tex), or at least that would be very nice.
Some settings there are necessary if you want to enable the extra
patterns. There are some more things to be done, but you may start by
translating the strings and filling other holes in lang-bal.tex.

To do it I need to understand what all these parameters mean.

\installlanguage [..1.] [..,.=2.,..]

1 IDENTIFIER

2 spacing = packed broad

lefthyphenmin = NUMBER

righthyphenmin = NUMBER

state = start stop

leftsentence = COMMAND

rightsentence = COMMAND

leftsubsentence = COMMAND

rightsubsentence = COMMAND

leftquote = COMMAND

rightquote = COMMAND

leftquotation = COMMAND

rightquotation = COMMAND

leftspeech = COMMAND

middlespeech = COMMAND

rightspeech = COMMAND

limittext = TEXT

date = TEXT

compoundhyphen = COMMAND

leftcompoundhyphen = COMMAND

rightcompoundhyphen = COMMAND

default = IDENTIFIER

What is the difference between quote and quotation? I always use double quote, like this: „example“

Next, I need to know there all strings, which I translate, will be used. Maybe, there is an example document with all english strings used.

For example:

Figure 1: Caption of the figure

1 pav. Caption of the figure

Table 1: Caption of the table

1 lentelė. Caption of the table

In a table of contents and in section names there must be period after number:

1. Name

1.1. Name2

1.1.2. Name3

exept:

Chapter 1

1 skyrius

The main question is: do you need them only for MKIV/XeTeX or do you
also want them for MKII? In the latter case you'll have quite some
problems with encoding (that is: missing support for it in fonts).

In MKIV & XeTeX it should be no problem.

I use utf8 and MKIV.
