[Bug localedata/13147] New: incorrect numeric settings for French,Spanish, and German locales


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13147

             Bug #: 13147
           Summary: incorrect numeric settings for French, Spanish, and
                    German locales
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: libc-locales@sources.redhat.com
        ReportedBy: jbastian@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified

patch to update LC_NUMERIC for de, es and fr

In French (Canadian), the thousands separator is a space; it's a period in
Spanish (Spain) and in German (Austrian).  For example, "1 024" or "1.024"
respectively.

The fr_CA, es_ES, and de_AT locales in glibc-2.14 have the thousands separator
incorrectly defined as a null.

I compared the fr_*, es_*, and de_* files in glibc against the latest
Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository), version 1.9, and patched the
LC_NUMERIC section where appropriate.  See the attached patch.

http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/1.9.0/posix.zip
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/tags/release-1-9/posix/

Please update the es_*, fr_*, and de_* locale definitions.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.14-5 (Fedora 15)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
env LC_ALL=fr_CA.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf "%'d\n" 4294967296
env LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf "%'d\n" 4294967296
env LC_ALL=de_AT.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf "%'d\n" 4294967296

Actual Results:
4294967296
4294967296
4294967296

Expected Results:
4 294 967 296
4.294.967.296
4.294.967.296
