Bug ID: 16782
Summary: RFE: Minimum number to apply separator
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: myllynen at redhat dot com
CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
In some locales it would be desirable to allow start using separator only at
certain lenght, for example separator is not wanted under 10000 in pl_PL. This
would probably be wanted only for LC_NUMERIC.
See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16777 for additional
discussion.

--- Comment #1 from Egmont Koblinger <egmont at gmail dot com> ---
Just FYI:
In hu_HU the separator (space or dot) is also to be used for numbers of at
least 5 digits, with the exception that if 4-digit numbers and 5+-digit numbers
are mixed in a vertical listing then 4-digit ones also get the separator.
I think it's a reasonable expectation in other locales as well for an app to be
able to nicely format a column a numbers, and for that, if this feature is
implemented then there should be some means by which printf can disable this
conditional.
If I had to choose between the current behavior, or the correct behavior
without having this possibility to make an exception, I'd say I'd probably
choose the former one. That is, I believe implementing this feature without
this extra possibility would cause more harm than good.
Source: the official Hungarian orthograpry rules at
http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh12, bullet point 291/b [in
Hungarian]. The HTML layout is broken here, in the printed book (I have one on
my bookshelf) the column of numbers is right-aligned with the separator spaces
exactly above each other as it makes sense.
Another thing to consider: Is the boundary necessarily a certain number of
digits, rather than some certain value in between? E.g. is it possible that a
language starts inserting the separator from let's say 2000?
