+    hence breaking pdf compilation in de, sl, pt, es, nl, pl and it locales 
+    as the \shorthandoff directive is not added. Will be fixed in next

+Description: Added language names to the shorthandoff helper
+ Docutils changed and now reports full language names not codes.
+ Because of this, the \shorthandoff directive is not being put
+ in the generated latex source, causing pdf generation to fail
+ for german, spanish, italian, portugese, dutch, polish and 
+ slovene locales.
