76309 - Make "kb" format conform to countrie's standard (capitalisation, spacing)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65710

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

Make "kb" format conform to countrie's standard (capitalisation, spacing)

Some countries write "kb", others "KB"

Some countries write "1234 kb (best), others "1234kb" (US, difficult to read).

Some countries write "1,234 kb, some 1.234 kb (komma vs period, see bug 74716).

Mozilla should display according to the country code settings in the OS.

A Part of this is invalid.
See bug 64179

Peter, unless you can provide citations from style guides (rather than just 
examples which might be in error) that accepted style for this really does 
differ in different countries, this is a dup of just doing the Right Thing.

ahh, the other bug is about making the size according to "SI" (systeme
international) which is only one standard. We should consider conforming to each
countries' standards by using/retrieving the OS's country code settings.
