Comment:
My two cents on the DECIMAL_SEPARATOR issue here:
Unfortunately, there seems to be no real consensus on what the right way
to write numbers in Switzerland is. While the link above shows the
official way to do it, that rule seems to be applied very rarely.
I have checked with two major newspapers in Switzerland, hoping they would
write proper (Swiss-) German, only to find that both use another System:
NZZ (nzz.ch) uses a dot for monetary values and either a dot or a comma
(it's not consistent throughout the site) for percentage values and a dot
for 'normal' values. Overall, they seem to be very inconsistent. Even more
'shocking' to me as a Swiss is that they use a comma as thousand
separator, which is very unnatural for me.
Tagesanzeiger (tagi.ch) is inconsistent too. For values in graphs, they
use dots. For values in article text they use commas.
I personally agree with the patch as it is. The "10'000.12" format appears
most natural to me. So in my opinion, the patch is ready for checkin.
