Hello
what is your idea about round to 2 decimal numbers

I don't understand what it is you are asking - please elaborate, because as far as I can recall there are no "decimal numbers" in

post numbers , topic numbers , user numbers

add currency with commas.

That would be country specfic

On huge numbers, you have formatting in "real live". In german, we put a dot as a thousands delimiter, eg 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.

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:

Code: Select all

1 000 000

Not to be confused with an actual space

Code: Select all

1 000 000

What you think about round it ?
1000 be 1K
1200 be 1.2K

or 123456 be 123,456
2208967 be 2,208,967 it is poat number of "phpBB2 Forums Archive" phpbb.com

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 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.php

Just as there are different customs for which languages people speak. If phpBB has language translations, why not have separator translations too?
