Re: easy-to-read numbers
On huge numbers, you have formatting in "real live". In german, we put a dot as a thousands delimiter, eg
Makes big numbers more human readable.
1000000
(a million) can easier be read when formatted 1.000.000
. If I remember correctly in american (and maybe british also) english it is done with a comma in between -> 1,000,000
Makes big numbers more human readable.

Re: easy-to-read numbers
As you already spotted, there are different customs when it comes to what characters is being used as delimiter. Using the recommend unicode "thin space" should be used instead of adding this extra complexitiy to e.g. language variables.
Result:
Not to be confused with an actual space
Result:
Code: Select all
1 000 000
Code: Select all
1 000 000

Re: easy-to-read numbers
Just re-read a topic on the german support board. Should be a mostly simple change, as in most cases there are only integers to display: https://www.phpbb.de/community/viewtopi ... 8#p1375107
And using the four parameter
And using the four parameter
number_format
function you can set a decimal delimiter and a thousands delimiter via language files (L_DECIMAL and L_THOUSANDS like L_COLON) -> http://php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.phpGreetings

Just as there are different customs for which languages people speak. If phpBB has language translations, why not have separator translations too?Marc wrote: Fri Jan 12, 2018 8:57 pm As you already spotted, there are different customs when it comes to what characters is being used as delimiter.
