The place of the punctuation in numbers depends on the countries and the system used, so you won't have a standard here. There is countries using arabic numerals with decimal point, other using arabic numerals with decimal coma and some other systems too. Also the currency name can be used as a suffix or prefix depending on the country. Kind regards Sophie
Thanks for the reply. My question is whether we decide on a format for our international related material or do we let the author of these materials decide?
For example, if I were to put together a French flyer for the funding drive, if this is the case then the flyer would have "50,000.05 euro" (this is just a number for the sake of this discussion).
I think if we were to settle on a standard "LibreOffice international style" then we could develop material that would not have to be re-edited. Would we then use the "50,000.05 euro" in France or would it be "50 000,05" euro?
Would it not make sense to standardise to a style that would be applied to all three groups: documentation, website and marketing? I think the documentation group should have the official decision on this as you are the experts on style and format.
