Bonjour,

I used to use babel with french option, now I want to use polyglossia
with \setmainlanguage{french} but I can't find documentation about some
commands which are defined in babel-french, for instance:

french guillemets are defined in babel as \og and \fg, what is the
equivalent in polyglossia?

Using package numprint with autolanguage option allows to give a way to
type great numbers in French style (a space between 3 digits) and use
command \nombre instead of \numprint.

Is there a documentation giving the polyglossia equivalents of babel?

texdoc polyglossia does not give this stuff.

F.P.

Why would you want that? The french support for babel is much
better.

Because I am working on old configuration files I made when xelatex was
not very compatible with babel.

But, I see that babel has changed... I am reading the doc!

I try to edit bilingual documents in french ans sanskrit.
