Description
This is hrev57177, 64bit.
The Locale prefs provide a setting for the language and the formatting. BStringFormat() seems to only respect the 'language' setting, and not the 'formatting'. string_for_size() not even that...
My setting is language: English, formatting: German.
Attached is a little test app that prints some infos.
Here is the output for my setting:
❯ locale -lf en de_DE.UTF-8 ❯ CLIapp BNumberFormat separators: decimal: , 1000: . string_for_size: 1.00 KiB BStringFormat: (1,024 bytes)
The separators are correct (German is the opposite to English).
string_for_size should be "1,00 KiB"
BStringFormat should (1.024 bytes)
If I change my 'language' setting to German, the output of BStringFormat() correct; string_for_size() is still not correct:
❯ locale -lf de de_DE.UTF-8 ❯ CLIapp BNumberFormat separators: decimal: , 1000: . string_for_size: 1.00 KiB BStringFormat: (1.024 bytes)
