Previously polyglossia worked better with xelatex, but
that is no longer the case, so we simplify the code so that
babel is used with all latex engines.

This involves a change to the default LaTeX template.

If people who do multilingual work could test with this branch, it would give me more confidence.

Just for completeness: the discussion on tex.stackexchange was also in favor of babel.
