Bug ID: 393231
Summary: Thousands separator for locale de_DE is wrong
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_formats
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@kdex.de
Target Milestone: ---
The locale `de_DE` erroneously uses '.' as its thousands (group) separator,
which was only used historically. As per DIN 1333, DIN 5008, and EN ISO 80000,
the separator is a thin space.
DIN 1333 explicitly forbids the usage of '.' to group thousands, and EN ISO
80000 explicitly excludes all other characters than a thin space.
For further information, please also refer to the relevant section on Wikipedia
at [1] (German).
