There seems to be multiple acceptable usages. For example all of the
following seem to be correct:
50 000.05
50,000.05
EN
50.000,05
FR
50 000.05
50.000,05
FR again
Just my two (Euro-)cents
This does not give any answer. If we are writing international material,
could we come up with a LibreOffice style? Which one should we adopt for
documentation, website, marketing materials that are international?
The place of the punctuation in numbers depends on the countries and the
system used, so you won't have a standard here. There is countries using
arabic numerals with decimal point, other using arabic numerals with
decimal coma and some other systems too. Also the currency name can be
used as a suffix or prefix depending on the country.
Kind regards
