[Bug 1765422] Re: hr_HR locale file has wrong thousands separator

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your report. However, Ubuntu uses glibc's locale definitions,
and this request really belongs there.

I did some research, and found that a plain space character was used in
hr_HR previously. mon_thousands_sep was changed to "<U202F>" as a result
of this bug:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20756

Then thousands_sep was changed accordingly as part of the fix of this
bug:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10580

Please note that the patch with the latter change was written by a
fellow-contryman of yours. He had previously suggested "." as you do
now, but apparently accepted "<U202F>" as a proper separator for hr_HR.

I'd suggest that you get in touch with Dragan Stanojevic and discuss it
with him. If the two of you agree that "." is more correct, then please
file a new bug at sourceware.org.

Closing this bug.
