Ok, I understand.

That's false, polyglossia goes well with Xelatex, but I think you can
use it with pdflatex also, although I do it with babel in both cases
(pdflatex and xelatex) and you should use babel whenever you want to
write documents in something different  than English, but that you
probably already know.

I understand, the important is it works. I prefer the last couple of
years use the most current version of TeXlive because I use LaTeX for
all, and for many projects I have no choice. Could you add a prealmble
to see how are you worinking with that?
