 ## Ensuring locale info
 
 As the LaTeX kernel extends its capabilities related to localization
-(like upper and lower casing), BCP47 tags are becoming
-essential. The required information is stored in the `ini` locale
-files, which were load loaded only in some cases, except with
-`\EnsureBabelInfo`. Now it’s loaded always. This means there will be a
-minimal overhead. This should work for most languages, but see the
