Bug #: 29495
Summary: Numbering system grouping for Indian languages
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: me.prav...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mediawiki gives 3 digit grouping for numbers by default (1234567890 →
1,234,567,890). All Indian languages and many other Asian languages uses a
different way of grouping (1234567890 → 1,23,45,67,890). Magicwords such as
{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} also give 3 digit group pre-formated counts. For languages
like Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, etc need easily readable and
understandable formatting in traditional Indian style grouping style.
Pls see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system ,

default grouping)
