Actually, it depends. In running text, the language locale should be used for all formatting even though the user's non-language locale is different. For example, it goes against English usage to use another decimal-point separator than a point, even though the Swedish locale proscribes a comma. In a tabular context it is different, and the user's locale should prevail over the language locale. Compare: "Amount to pay: USD 1,000.12" (English locale throughout) vs "Amount to pay: 1 000,12 USD" (Mixed English and Swedish locale). The latter is an all-too-common example of programmers being hyper- correct about locale issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681709 Title: mixed locale in dialogs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/policykit-1-gnome/+bug/681709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
