Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office localization for multinational work environment

Dear Lorenzo,
Thank you for your reply. I realized that I should make the problem more 
clear.

1. As an international office we have our own custom settings in between 
us with remote offices as well.
2. In our reports, presentations and documents, we would like to show 
our numbers as 123'456'789.00 .none of the predefined localization 
settings are showing this style (universal calculator appearance).
3. Windows and pardus are giving us the opportunity to make necessary 
definitions. But libre office is not referring to system definitions and 
also not letting us to define or use custom characters-symbols for 
thousand separator and decimal point.

So we are looking for a solution not to go with pre-defined localization 
settings but to be able to define our set of characters.

Thanks again,
