Comment (by Mariusz Felisiak):
Replying to [comment:9 Alexander Lazarević]:
> So the THOUSAND_SEPARATOR seems to be the non-breaking-space (as
implemented) and not `single-quote` or `coma` (as in the PR), regardless
of plain numbers or monetary value.
This PR is not about values used by Django, it's about comments and docs.
Please check previous
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35095?replyto=9#comment:3
comments].
Django uses separators for **non-monetary numbers** i.e.
{{{#!python
DECIMAL_SEPARATOR = ","
THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = "\xa0" # non-breaking space
}}}
However, both docs and comments mention that for **monetary values**
format is different. The question is, should we change a comment to the:
> "For monetary numbers, the DECIMAL_SEPARATOR is a . (decimal point) and
the THOUSAND_SEPARATOR is **a , (comma).**"
or should we change docs to the:
> "For monetary values, a **single quote** is used as the thousand
separator and a decimal point for the decimal separator."
