I created ticket 134897 (<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_CLOSED bz_closed" title="CLOSED DUPLICATE - Regional settings for numbers do not conform to system settings" href="show_bug.cgi?id=134897">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134897</a>) that Eike Rathke marked as a duplicate of this, and closed it. It is not a duplicate since the problem still exists that formatting inside Libre Office does not conform to the locale settings as in Windows that other applications do conform to. This results in discrepancies when transferring data between Calc and other applications. I have proposed the interim fix of aligning Libre Office locale formatting to Open Office to make it usable until such time as this 8 year old ticket is resolved. Short of that, Libre Office Calc is not practically usable in South Africa. The details about the formatting are as I have described in my above comments. I have provided examples that demonstrate that the government themselves do not conform to what Eike Rathke deems to be the accepted standard and I have explained why this is the case.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
