[Impact] The LC_NUMERIC formats are imported from the es_ES locale to several Latin American locales with other conventions for thousands_sep and decimal_point, which results in incorrect number formating. Quoting from bug #997248: "This problem is seen when I try to use the calculator, or other gnome program that involves math, it's confusing." [Test Case] Before the fix: $ LC_NUMERIC=es_GT.UTF-8 printf "%'.2f\n" 12345,67 12.345,67 After the fix: $ LC_NUMERIC=es_GT.UTF-8 printf "%'.2f\n" 12345.67 12,345.67 [Regression Potential] There might exist scripts that adapts to the current incorrect behavior. Given that 14.04 was recently released, fixing the bug ought to carry greater weight. [Original description] In Guatemala the thousands separator is a comma and the decimal separator is a dot. Had to change in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_GT: from: LC_NUMERIC copy "es_ES" END LC_NUMERIC to: LC_NUMERIC decimal_point "<U002E>" thousands_sep "<U002C>" grouping 3;3 END LC_NUMERIC then sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/1074797/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
