coreNetworkStats / regional settings

[Thrawn]

Hello,
I'm using a x2040 on Vista64 English, V5 software (2008.06.05).

My regional settings are French (France) with the exception of the date format (short date : YYYY-MM-DD instead of DD/MM/YYYY).

So by default :
- the decimal symbol is ","
- the digit grouping symbol is " " ( space )
( English 123,456.123 is displayed 123 456,123)

When I am not downloading and the bitrate is low, I see a question mark, something like :
0,38K/s dn / 0,25K/s up

When I'm downloading and the bitrate is high :
1?890,55K/s dn / 40,36K/s up


I cannot want to change the digit grouping symbol.

Do you have any idea ?

Regards.

Their network plugin uses the standard english formatting options, and looks something like this in code:

PluginManager.LCD_WriteScroll(string.Format("{0:N}", stats.TotalDownload) + " Megs", 1, 1, 0);

Changing it to use the users culture would look like this:

PluginManager.LCD_WriteScroll(string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "{0:N}", stats.TotalDownload) + " Megs", 1, 1, 0);

I'm not sure why they have it the way they do when the market they cover is so large. Since you brought this up I bet they'll have it fixed in the next version.

Thank you.
I hope so.

Pertelian has definitely grown far past the markets we planned for in the first official release. A wider range of language and symbol support is an issue we're looking into for V6.

Ok, thanks for the answer.

I had it delivered at my office, to I tried it there.

At home (XP32) I changed the digit grouping symbol as I don't use a spreadsheet or software using numbers very often, I put a "." and it's less an issue (so I have 1.253,15K/s for what is 1,253.15K/s in English)

What's strange is that though the "digit grouping symbol" is defined, in the same screen, I chose not to use it (the parameter just under) so all digits should be "together" (in the example 123456789 without any character between the digits), and this format is not used by the v5, though it uses the symbol defined in the same screen of the regional settings.
