Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Support printing localized RADIXCHAR

From: Pablo Correa Gómez <ablocorrea@...mail.com>

Since we've been discussing about translations, I've been looking a bit
around, and have found some low-hanging fruit, in the form of improving
printf-family output for localized systems.

I've tried to do the same for strtof family of functions, but I was not
completely sure on how to approach that. Forcing the radix char there
has the problem that numeric values as written for programming stop
being supported, and treating equally a "." and the localized case seems
to not be supported by POSIX. Does anybody have any thoughts about this?
Without that, this patch series might be a bit incomplete, since
certain localized printf outputs would not be possible to ingest in
strtof. Although I'm also unequally unsure if that's a requirement

  langinfo: add support for LC_NUMERIC translations
  printf: translate RADIXCHAR for floating-point numbers
