I guess my experience is not as 'multinational', but I currently work a
lot in two languages (English and Italian).
Not using Windows here but Ubuntu installed in English with the Italian
locale.
For Libreoffice I installed both the language packs for English and
Italian and often work on bi-lingual documents, not it is really easy to
switch language settings (e.g for spell check) in the same document.
In windows and MS office it was pretty easy to make custom settings for
the date, currency and number appearances.

As for locale in general I imagine you're aware of the setting in the
language preferences, but I don't much about number formats.
