[Bug 997248] Re: Inconsistency in decimal point for es_MX and es_NI locale

 

There are a regression in Trusty, after a update, the bug appears again,
the locale es_MX has the 'copy "es_ES"' estatement in LC_NUMERIC.

It is very important, because as in my case the server sends the float
numbers in the format 10,5, 10.5, in the case of Chrome browser, the
HTML5 numeric type fields don't display the number causing errors in Web
applications.

Title:
  Inconsistency in decimal point for es_MX and es_NI locale

Status in GLibC:
  Fix Released
Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In México we use the point as decimal separator and the comma to
  separate thousands, But in the es_MX locale in Ubuntu precise it is
  set as in Europe; In System configuration> Language Support > Regional
  Formats I found in the example that the character that separates the
  thousands and millions is the point (.) and the one that separates the
  decimals is the comma (,) and that's incorrect for México, See
  attachment.

  This problem is seen when I try to use the calculator, or other gnome
  program that involves math, it's confusing.
