Currently, DjangoJSONEncoder officially supports Decimal types. But
localization of this type aren't using.
In current version of code, Decimal variable simply converts to str type,
without use of force_text and formats.localize (as in "localize" Django
standard template tag).

Comment:
The JSON standard for serializing decimal values does not provide for
localized formatting. (See JSON.org.) This is why values are not
localized. I think it would also make the date less portable across
locales.
If you need localized values, then I'd suggest to create a custom encoder
for your serializer of choice which outputs the decimals appropriately.
If you disagree and feel this is something Django should provide, please
raise the issue on the DevelopersMailingList.

By following this, support of Decimals in DjangoJSONEncoder makes sense
only for web-applications that don't use localizations.
If you need localized values, then I'd suggest to create a custom encoder
for your serializer of choice which outputs the decimals appropriately.
Ok, but DjangoJSONEncoder has only one method: "default", what making it
hard to override. How about to divide it to different methods? It would be
very helpful.
