Ok, either I don't understand something, am not communicating clearly,
or both. I think they are opposites. This is what I think they could
do:
# Given an instance of Float, format it to a string to display to
# Brazilian users.
I18n.localize(100000.01, :locale => :'pt-BR') #=> "100.000,01"
# Given input from a Brazilian user, cast to a Float.
I18n.to_f("100.001", :locale => :'pt-BR') #=> 100001.00
# Given an instance of Float, format it to a string to display to
# USA users.
I18n.localize(100000.01, :locale => :'en-US') #=> "100,000.01"
# Given input from a USA user, cast to a Float. Notice the value
# is different from what a Brazilian user would mean.
I18n.to_f("100.001", :locale => :'en-US') #=> 100.001
