Title:
  Locale es_MX (Mexico) uses incorrect decimal and thousand symbol

Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New
Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon, new installation (but bug was present in 13
  Mate). My installation is localized for Mexico (es_MX). In México (as
  in several or all spanish speaking countries in Central and South
  America, but can't say for sure) we use the point as decimal symbol
  and the comma as thousands symbol.

  The actual es_MX configuration file copies the es_ES number
  configuration, which follows the european use of comma for decimal and
  point for thousands.

  I manually edited my file and the problem was solved:

  /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_MX

  LC_NUMERIC
  (-)copy "es_ES"
  (+)decimal_point        "<U002E>"
  (+)thousands_sep        "<U002C>"
  (+)grouping             3;3
  END LC_NUMERIC

  And then doing

  sudo locale-gen
