Looking at the code I noticed that numbers aren’t formatted using the locale configured by the user or administrator.
This can be seen at the reply and view counts. On a German locale it looks like this:
But it should look like this:
In German we use a comma as decimal separator. And of course, as @downeyalready mentioned the “K” should be a lowercase “k”.
The missing localization of numbers can also be seen in the poll plugin. The average rating uses the English decimal separator…
Could we use a library like FormatJS or Numeral.js in order to format numbers? Looks like not all major browsers support Intl.NumberFormat yet.
Yeah, I guess adding another library isn’t the best option. In an ideal world we could just use Intl.NumberFormat, but of course Safari and all those mobile browsers lack support for it.
But FormatJS looks promising. It’s using a polyfill for Intl, integrates well with Ember and I’m quite sure it would be possible to replace moment.js with it too. (Ok, moment.js is currently used for parsing and calculating dates, so replacing it is probably not an option.)
Anyway, we need some kind of solution for this. If it’s just a “simple” function in those lib/locale scripts, that’s fine with me too.
