Wrong decimal tho.
Why isn't there an en-EU or en-ISO locale that has:
- yyyy-mm-dd
- SI units
- 1,234.56 number format
- brnt 3mo agoThe European Commission published its own language guide. In terms of English it's only a small deviation from en-GB, but my first thought was indeed: when can I set en-EU?
- reirob 3mo agoDo you have a link to this publication?
- bmacho 3mo agohttps://knowledge-centre-translation-interpretation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/ckeditor5-files/styleguide_1.pdf https://knowledge-centre-translation-interpretation.ec.europ... > This style guide is intended primarily for English-language authors and translators, both in-house and freelance, working for the European Commission. It specifies formats for date, numbers etc.
- aendruk 3mo agoIt is possible to define a custom locale with these features, e.g. https://andrew.kvalhe.im/2022-09-09 https://andrew.kvalhe.im/2022-09-09 $ echo "$LANG"; date en_US.UTF-8@aspirational 2026-07-02T11:17:00-07:00

- pezezin 3mo agoNowadays the recomended thousands separator by most international standards is a blank space. And having been raised in the continent, I personally find using commas for thousands disgusting.
- sph 3mo agoI can tolerate the comma as thousands separator, but I hate the dot as thousands separator. Use a space or ' if you want to be fancy. I wish we’d rip the bandaid off and invent a new character that makes it unambiguous across the world.
