I want to change system behaviour so it uses "." as decimal separator and "" as thousands separator. I have checked LC_NUMERIC options and none of them seem to offer me this behavior without modifying date formats too.

I wonder if there is any specific way to create a custom LC_NUMERIC format with a custom set up, something like:

decimal_point="."
thousands_sep=""
(...)

    The recipe given [in this Q&A](https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/209853/86440) should work for you — ignore the `he_IL` part and pick [the appropriate source file](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=tree;f=localedata/locales). (Not suggesting a dupe since I have a hammer here.) – Stephen Kitt Oct 18 '21 at 09:45
  • I downloaded the document, I changed the decimal_point part and try to reload it but I keep having the same behaviour as in the original document... I am using ubuntu 18 and perhaps I am copying it incorrectly? – dgr Oct 20 '21 at 07:45
  • Did you create a new locale, or try to update the existing one? – Stephen Kitt Oct 20 '21 at 08:47
  • I downloaded the locale from that website and change just the part of "decimal_point", then I tried to load it in Ubuntu but I was probably placing it incorrectly because I didn't see any changes – dgr Oct 21 '21 at 13:05
  • What do you mean by “tried to load it in Ubuntu”? Where did you place the modified file, and what commands did you run? – Stephen Kitt Oct 21 '21 at 13:09
