I'm trying to have a calculator app display the proper decimal mark. I call toLocaleString on the final result of the calculation. On a test device, I've changed the language to French. The French decimal mark is a ','. Yet the decimal mark remains a '.'. This can be verified in the browser application as well: http://chris.photobooks.com/tests/overflow/1074660.htm STR: 1. Connect to wifi 2. Change language on test device to french. 3. Open browser 4. http://chris.photobooks.com/tests/overflow/1074660.htm Expected ',', actual '.'

toLocaleString depends on OS behaviour, I'm not sure what of that we're shipping, nor if we're setting the locale on the OS level.

What happens is that we don't have localeconv enabled on Gonk and we don't have global variable for decimals, so you end up with defaults. Code: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/jsnum.cpp#1049

and the reason is here: https://github.com/android/platform_bionic/blob/master/libc/README "Bionic is mainly a port of the BSD C library to our Linux kernel with the following additions/changes: - no support for locales (...)" I think we will get this resolved when we get bug 769872 resolved and if we land it for GONK port as well. Setting needinfo on Norbert to confirm before I set dependency

Yes, that's the kind of issue that the ECMAScript Internationalization API intends to address. The tracking bug for that API is now bug 837963. It's not quite clear yet though how that API is going to be implemented in Firefox OS - hopefully the ICU library that's in the B2G/Android sources makes it into the builds and the API can use it.
Depends on: es-intl
