Russian-speaking people simply don’t understand what “1.3K” means - they keep asking our mods about the K. Is it possible to make it localized somehow?

No one of the 120 registered users in our forum is aware of the “K”.

Does Russia use kilometers…? Sorry, I don’t know and a quick search was not enlightening.

Both Russian and Ukrainian language do not use K for “thousand”. For kilometers, we use “km” (or “км”, a Russian version). Even though technical people do understand the K, most of regular people don’t.

I can’t recall if something like 2236 was ever displayed as 2236 or if it was shortened to make more room back when there were more columns. Obviously there needs to be a sane limit at some point. IMHO seeing a whole mess of numbers with varying lengths of digits would muddy things up. [imagem] …

[imagem] meglio: For kilometers, we use “km” (or “км”, a Russian version). thousand meters = kilo meters = km :slight_smile:

Though it’s a standard and Chinese users are used to kilo**, it’s still a demand ask about that kind of features to translate it.

I have no idea if this symbol is actually used that way, but this is apparently a Cyrillic symbol for 1000: ҂

The code that formats those numbers is here: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/formatter.js#L260-L271 How would you format large numbers (thousands and millions) in your language without using too much space?

[imagem] Mittineague: So what do they use for the abbreviation of thousand? The standard says to use this: тыс. 1,4тыс. Also, number formatting in Russian would be different as well (the same as in Ukrainian) - it would use a comma “,” instead of a dot “.” for thousand separator: 1,4тыс. -…

Is there a way to translate numbers e.g. "1.3K" in the "Views" column?

I can create a PR to make the “k” and “M” localizable, but formatting numbers with the correct decimal and thousands separators is another issue. AFAIK there’s currently no library in Discourse that allows I18n for numbers.
