Title:
en_ZA locale not correct in applications
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
In all Ubuntu based distributions I have found that in applications
such as LibreOffice Calc where I need to see formats applicable to my
locale en_ZA (South Africa) the decimal place is denoted by , in the
application even though the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_ZA is
correct in specifying the decimal place as denoted by a .
This is the same for monetary values where it is showing , in
applications instead of the . as specified in the locale file. The
comma was deprecated in South Africa in the 1990s and the generally
accepted decimal is .
This makes it extremely difficult to transfer Windows Excel files that
have decimal points to a Linux distro that strictly enforces
recognising a decimal with a comma and hence renders the Windows Excel
file useless in Linux.
The Windows feature of customising locales in terms of date, time,
decimal place and digit grouping within the GUI is sorely missing from
all desktops in Linux and so this cannot be fixed by the end-user.
