Bug Description

trusty SRU request
==================

Please add a trusty task on both this bug report and bug #997248.

[Impact]
The LC_NUMERIC formats are imported from the es_ES locale to several Latin American locales with other conventions for thousands_sep and decimal_point, which results in incorrect number formating.

Quoting from bug #997248: "This problem is seen when I try to use the calculator, or other gnome program that involves math, it's confusing."

[Test Case]
Before the fix:
$ LC_NUMERIC=es_GT.UTF-8 printf "%'.2f\n" 12345,67
12.345,67

After the fix:
$ LC_NUMERIC=es_GT.UTF-8 printf "%'.2f\n" 12345.67
12,345.67

[Regression Potential]
There might exist scripts that adapts to the current incorrect behavior. Given that 14.04 was recently released, fixing the bug ought to carry greater weight.

[Original description]
In Guatemala the thousands separator is a comma and the decimal separator is a dot. Had to change in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_GT:

from:
LC_NUMERIC
copy "es_ES"
END LC_NUMERIC

to:
LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point "<U002E>"
thousands_sep "<U002C>"
grouping 3;3
END LC_NUMERIC

then sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04
