Bug ID: 497242
Summary: Fraction localization error
Classification: Applications
Product: kbruch
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
I was playing with kbruch today and it gave me this
1½ * 1⅖ =
To which I replied ⅕, which it marked wrong saying it should have been 21/10.
I asked other people (who have studied math at university, like me) and they
were all very surprised.
Then I asked on IRC and a german person said it was correct, and sent me a
wikipedia link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction#Mixed_numbers)
>From that wikipedia link, I went to the Italian version of the page
(https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frazione_(matematica)#Altri_tipi_di_frazioni)
where all such fractions are written with a + sign. There is a note saying that
anglosaxon countries might omit the + sign.
So to any italian national, writing 1½ is not the same as (1+½).
To us the question is identical to ½+⅖.
Can you please consider using the international notation if the locale is not
set to USA/Germany/{I don't know who else uses this notation}?
Thanks
