Thousands separator and decimal separator

[michim...@gmail.com]

Hi,

the thousands separators do not work anymore with otree lite. In addition, the decimal separators are no longer adapted to the language code (for me, there should be a comma in Germany). With the old otree this worked fine.

For me the decimal separator is output properly as a comma when i set my language code to 'de'. Can you show some code that reproduces this issue?

USE_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR is a Django setting and does not work with oTree 5. Maybe I will add support for something like that.

Hi Chris,

thanks for your answer. a thousands separator support would be great. Here is my code for the language code problem:

# settings.py

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'de'

# __init.py__.py

class Constants(ConstantsTreatments):
    a = cu(5000)

def vars_for_template(player: Player):
     return dict(

        income_a=Constants.a,)

    

# template 

In dieser Periode beträgt Ihr Gewinn {{ income_a }}.

# Output

OK I see what you mean now. If you use points with POINTS_DECIMAL_PLACES, then I suppose it will always use a dot rather than a comma. I will put that on my list of things to fix. I guess I didn't notice that because I have de-emphasized POINTS_DECIMAL_PLACES in the documentation (in most cases I find it's better not to use it and just treat points as integers).

Anyway thank you for the feedback.
