--- Comment #210 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Per the upstream discussion in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58351,
this unfortunately isn't something we can feasibly fix in KDE alone. It doesn't
even seem like something that can be done in Qt alone! Because the mapping of
locales to both string formatting and also translated text is baked into the
POSIX and libc implementation of locales, it really needs to be fixed there.
If it's fixed at a level any higher than that, then the result would simply be
applications not respecting your formatting preferences in a random-seeming
manner. If it was done only in Qt, then all non-Qt apps would be
non-respecting, and if we did it in KDE itself (as we did in Plasma 4 and
earlier), then all non-KDE apps would be non-conforming, even those that use
Qt. It would be a matter of winning the battle but losing the war.
So someone needs to get the ball rolling at the POSIX and libc levels to
propose a new spec, or backwards-compatible changes to the existing one.
