Comment (by lev):
What is actually missing in the documentation is that out of 4 variables
responsible for localized number rendering (`DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`,
`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`, `NUMBER_GROUPING`, `USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`) only
the last one is intended for being used in `settings.py` directly.
The other three are supposed to be set in the corresponding `formats.py`
files like in the example above.
They ''can'' be set in `settings.py` but they will only be used in an
unlikely case of the variable not set up in
`django/conf/locale/*/formats.py` files.
For example the very first locale, `ar`, has `DECIMAL_SEPARATOR` set, but
it will not be used unless `NUMBER_GROUPING` (which is suspiciously
commented out there) is set somewhere else (ie in `settings.py` or in
`mysite/formats/ar/formats.py`).
