However the monetary representation has gained public recognition because of the stress placed on this matter by the Turkish Ministry of Finance. Nevertheless this representation is not as well defined as in the documentation of th GNU C libraries (probably because the related rule set was prepared during the pre-IT era). On the other hand, due to the international nature of the scientific publications, the numerical representation has not been as widely accepted as the monetary representation. The fix I have sent you uses the publically accepted form of the rules that were left unspecified by the Turkish Language Institution. It is possible not to make any grouping using the strfmon function. Therefore the same tersary grouping can be used in the numerical representation as in the monetary representation. The substitution of period with comma is possible by assigning "C" to the LC_NUMERIC variable. Consequently the current number representations adopted by the Turkish Language Institution can be used both in the numerical and in the monetary representations, provided that their grammar rules stay the same (if not changed in the grammar rules currently being revised). In order to end the current debate, the patch sent in can be assumed valid a priori. -- http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
