*Description*
-------------
In India, the concept of lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000) is the
most used for numbering (and not one million). They group the number
differently for representation, not in thousands but following the
schema #,##,##,### instead. The first grouping separator from the
right groups 3 digits, all others group by 2 digits.
The number formatter now supports this schema if an Indian [*-IN] or
Bhutan [*-BT] locale is selected. You'll notice if the number to be
formatted has 6 or more digits or increase the count of leading zeros
in the number formatter dialog, and a grouping separator is used in
the format.
Currently the following Indian locales have locale data available and
thus are supported:
Bengali
English
Hindi
Gujarati
Kannada
Malayalam
Marathi
Oriya
Punjabi
Tamil
Telugu
plus Dzongkha in Bhutan.
