Subject: Bug in sl_SI locale file
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 11:13:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1c3abcc1-2b27-04f1-66a7-3a1929dddced@t-2.com> (raw)
Hello,
I would like to report a bug in the sl_SI locale, the version I have is
labeled like this:
% Language: sl
% Territory: SI
% Revision: 4.4
% Date: 1997-11-05
The problem is in the LC_NUMERIC section. The Thousands Separator
(thousands_sep) is indicated as <U0020> which is a space character.
This creates problems in scripts, because space is sometimes a delimiter
and with this setting, numbers are sometimes merged inappropriately.
This is a problem that does not exist if a different locale is used
(which I would assume is the usual way people solve this issue).
While a thousands separator is not commonly used, the technically
correct character for this according to Slovenian number styling
standards, would be <U002E> aka the dot. Likely this was not used, to
avoid problems in compatibility with locales where the dot is a decimal
separator (e.g.: English).
LP,
Jure
