Describe the issue you are experiencing
My HA is set to use German, and the country is set to Switzerland. The system's locale settings are German/Switzerland, too. And there's no issue with formatting in general. I set the user to use "system settings" for the formatting.
Yet numbers are formatted using German rather than Swiss rules in HA: our decimal separater is a period, not the comma ("0.5" rather than "0,5"). German uses the dot as a thousand separator instead. This is particularly irritating with larger numbers using three decimals (eg. Total Energy 45,923kWh). I'm constantly confused wondering whether that means we really used 45 _giga_Wh. Or there's 1.900W instead of 1900W (or 1.9kW).
The following screenshot shows HA on the left, the Mac's settings on the right:
As can be seen from the screenshot the Swiss formatting isn't even available as an option.
I'm seeing the same on Mac, web UI and iOS app.
Describe the behavior you expected
The formatting for Switzerland should be 12'345.67. See eg. https://www.localeplanet.com/icu/de-CH/index.html
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Configure your operating system for German/Switzerland
- Configure your HA the same, and the user to use the system settings
- Check out some decimal or large numbers
