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 should be 2 righthyphenmin = NUMBER should be 2 - the minimum number of characters that are allowed to the left and right of hyphen character.

state = start stop

start - enable language

leftsentence = COMMAND rightsentence = COMMAND leftsubsentence = COMMAND rightsubsentence = COMMAND

leftquote = COMMAND rightquote = COMMAND

Quote is for single quotation mark (when nesting): A said: \quotation{B said: \quote{some sentence}}

leftquotation = COMMAND rightquotation = COMMAND leftspeech = COMMAND middlespeech = COMMAND rightspeech = COMMAND limittext = TEXT date = TEXT

Take a look at other examples in lang-ger/ita/sla/....tex. You need to write date format.

compoundhyphen = COMMAND leftcompoundhyphen = COMMAND rightcompoundhyphen = COMMAND default = IDENTIFIER What is the difference between quote and quotation? I always use double quote, like this: „example“

Usually there must exist another set of quotation marks for nesting quotations. Rarely used, but ...

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.

There is no, but maybe we could make one :)

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

Nice. I guess that you gave a nice homework to Hans :) I didn't check, but I have not seen any setting to change the order of number & label yet.

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

This can be fixed in mkiv; a bit harder in mkii.

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?

I use utf8 and MKIV.

That's fine then. Mojca
