>Description:
I've been using the attached patch locally to enable the "thousands
separator" for the Greek locale (el_GR.ISO8859-7). The change was
relatively simple to come up with and test after David Schultz
explained the format of the file to me.
>How-To-Repeat:
Before patching your locale definitions you cannot see any
thousands separator with the default numericdef file. Only the
fractional part is separated with a comma:
# env -i LANG=el_GR LC_ALL=el_GR.ISO8859-7 \
printf "%'.2f\n" 1234567890
1234567890,00
After applying the attached patch the thousands separator is
correctly printed as a dot (`.') character by printf(1):
# env -i LANG=el_GR LC_ALL=el_GR.ISO8859-7 \
printf "%'.2f\n" 1234567890
1.234.567.890,00
