Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Questions about strings

I believe the strings can be found by everybody using a search in the
Comments field for the codes given below. Check "Comments" and "Exact
match" when searching. The search is very fast when Exact match is checked.

But yes, it would be easier if everybody just had access to the greek
translation at https://translations.documentfoundation.org/el/  :-)

This is code 8aDAD

This is code cAQbj

As Sophie already mentioned,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Examples_of_use mentions the use
in different countries. Note that several different notations can be valid
for the same country.

According to that source, it seems like the French version of the SI style
is valid in both Germany and France:

1 234 567,89

But this is also valid in Germany:

1.234.567,89

f) I think that those cases should be more clear.

I think it would be easier to do something about with if you could mention
the specific cases when you see them again. :-) Searching for either "." or
"," would give too many results.
