Bug Description
trusty SRU request
==================
Please add a trusty task on both this bug report and bug #997248.
[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=
12.345,67
After the fix:
$ LC_NUMERIC=
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/
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
