## Shorthands work in bibs and refs even with safe=none
-Shorthands are based on active characters, and if their definitions are not expandable (and shorthands are not), old TeX raises an error in some contexts (citations and cross references). `Babel` did tricky things to overcome this issue, but they were imperfect and problematic, so `babel` 3.9 added some options to deactivate them, with the side effect shorthands could not be used in these cases. But eTeX provides an easy mechanism to get the proper behavior easily. This is what this version has done.

## Non-standard hyphenation
With `luatex` it is now possible to define non-standard hyphenation rules, like `f-f` → `ff-f`, repeated hyphen, ranked rules (or more exactly, “penalized”). No rules are currently provided by default (this is left for a later version), but they can be defined as shown in the following example:
-
+```tex
\babelposthyphenation{ngerman}{([fmtrp]) | {1}}
{
{ no = {1}, pre = {1}{1}-}, % Replace first char with disc
remove, % Remove automatic disc
{} % Keep last char, untouched
}
+```
For a more detailed description and some examples, see [Non-standard hyphenation with luatex](../guides/non-standard-hyphenation-with-luatex.md).

## Add and modify values from `ini` files
-There is a way to modify the values of `ini` files when they get loaded with `\babelprovide`. To set, say, `digits.native` in the `numbers` section, use something like `numbers/digits.native=abcdefghij` (note the bar between the section and the key name). New keys may be added, too.

-The first feature is another step in a revamping of the user interface, which will be one of the main tasks in the next versions. While ‘monolithic’ languages - those loaded as package or class options - are all what most users need and the recommended way to set up a monolingual document, the goal is to provide a sort of ‘service’ with a set of tools enabling users to create locales tailored to their own needs (the example below for transliterated Russian is a case in point).

## Locale loading on the fly
Very often, multilingual documents consist of a main language with small pieces of text in other languages (words, idioms, etc.). For these cases, `babel` now does not require declaring the secondary languages explicitly, because the basic settings are loaded on the fly when the language is selected or the font set.
This is particularly useful when there are short texts of this kind coming from an external source whose contents are not known on beforehand (for example, titles in a bibliography). A trivial example is:
-
- \documentclass{article}
- \usepackage[english]{babel}
- \babelfont[russian]{rm}{FreeSerif}
- \begin{document}
- English. \foreignlanguage{russian}{Русский}.
- \foreignlanguage{spanish}{Español}.
- \end{document}
+```tex
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[english]{babel}
+\babelfont[russian]{rm}{FreeSerif}
+\begin{document}
+English. \foreignlanguage{russian}{Русский}.
+\foreignlanguage{spanish}{Español}.
+\end{document}
+```
+[**Update.** See also for `pdftex` [What's new in babel 3.84](whats-new-in-babel-3.84.md).]
## Improvements in `\babelposthyphenation` (lua)
Now captured chars can be mapped in the replacements. For example, if the first capture reads `([ΐΰ])`, the replacement could be `{1|ΐΰ|ίύ}`, which maps `ΐ` to `ί`, and `ΰ` to `ύ` - in other words, the diaeresis is removed.
-Although the main purpose of this tool is non-standard hyphenation, it is a quite general tool which may actually be used for other transformations. [**Note**. See also `\babelprehyphenation`, introduced in a preliminary form in 3.44, which is a better solution in cases like this.] For example, to enter _ž_ as `zh` and _š_ as `sh` in a newly created locale for transliterated Russian:

+\babelposthyphenation{russian-latin}{([sz])h}
+{
{ string = {1|sz|šž} },
- remove
- }
+ remove
+}
+```
Another change is now `\babelposthyphenation` activates automatically this feature.
## Assign specific chars to a locale (lua)
`\babelcharproperty` has been extended with a new property to add (or remove) a character (or a range of characters) from the default list used by `onchar` (namely, the script block). For example:
-
- \babelcharproperty{`,}{locale}{english}
+```tex
+\babelcharproperty{`,}{locale}{english}
+```
