The same problem affects the Nicaragua's locale file (es_NI.UTF-8). Nicaragua seems to use a dot as decimal separator, not a comma (*). This causes problems in my application (Kdenlive) that is based on Qt, which uses the correct decimal separator (a dot).

I don't understand why this "langpack-locales" package does not use the values from the Common Unicode Repository (http://cldr.unicode.org/), because it is not the first problem I notice (see issue #887395 ) and I saw several similar issues reported here...

(*) I did a quick search, could not find an official document but Wikipedia, Microsoft and the Unicode Repository all agree on the fact that Nicaragua uses a dot as decimal separator
