Comment (by fakotb):
This was left alone for a long time, but it may be a nice feature to have.
So I'm updating this ticket to let everybody know what the status is.
According to core developer jezdez, the context will not be available for
template filters for some time. However it's already possible to use
context in a template tag. So if we create a percentage template tag
instead of a filter it's possible to take into account localization.
Here is a page that specifies how a percentage should be written in
different languages:
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/by_type/patterns.numbers.html#17acd127f9139476
The good news is that the % sign never changes. The placement of this sign
however differs per language, which makes things quite complicated. As
said before it is not good to use Pythons format. Not because Django still
wants to support 2.5 (it doesn't), but because the way format works
depends on the locale of the installation and not the locale set in
Django.
It would be nice to also support permille if we're putting effort in
supporting percentage.
