Hi Christian, and thanks for your effort to improve Ubuntu by filing
this bug report!

The affected package is actually not language-selector; it's langpack-
locales. Changing accordingly.

Also, the issue has been reported previously, so I mark this bug a
duplicate of bug 997248. If there is anything you think ought to be
added to that other bug report, please comment on the other bug.

** Package changed: language-selector (Ubuntu) => langpack-locales

Title:
  Incorrect localization format for numbers and money ES-MX

Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Language selector for regional formats in Español; Castellano (México)
  sets numerical and monetary formats in an incorret way.

  Right now it shows as:
  numerical: 1.234.567,89
  date: fri 10 jan 2014 08:20:14 CST
  money: $ 20457.99

  But it should be like:
  numerical: 1,234,567.89
  date: fri 10 jan 2014 08:20:14 CST
  money: $20,457.9999

  in numerical we use the , for thousand indicator and . for decimal
  in money we don place a whitespace after the $ and we use the same as numerical format, with the thousand indicator, we expand the decimals to 4 digits because tax (%16) numerical operations do not work well with only 2 digits, this tax just began in 01 Jan 2010 and not all systems have been updated but they should eventualy, plus we also make monetary exchanges based on 4 decimal digit precicions like: "USD/MXN 12.9655"
