[wp-polyglots] number_format_i18n and floating point numbers

[Peter Westwood]

Hi Translators,

We have a ticket open regarding the translations provided for  
number_format_i18n - <http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10555>

Currently the function offers three things for translation:

number_format_decimals - The number of digits to display after the  
decimal point
number_format_decimal_point - The character to use as the decimal point
number_format_thousands_sep - The character to use as the thousands  
seperator

Looking at these three things I am unsure as to why the first one  
needs to be translatable - looking through the repo I think everyone  
has it currently set to 0 because otherwise all the numbers will  
display as floats not integers.

In there a reason why this needs to be translated?

I would have thought that just having a default behaviour for floats  
or even relying on the value the caller provides to the function  
(which also effectively defaults to 0) to be specified when they want  
to show a float would be good enough.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers
