Generally speaking, for documentation one has to look in the "doc"  
folder of the texmf trees (mainly texmf.tetex, and texmf.gwtex for  
some additional packages).

You also may use the "texdoc" command. "texdoc babel", in the  
Terminal, opens the "TeX Catalogue online"'s section for Babel's  
documentation.
