Hi all,

As you know, the french number format is almost opposite to the english one: period and comma have opposite roles.

My question concerns the way to render properly numbers in french with the \unit command. I already tried different combinations of \setupunit[method=,order=] but I can’t find the right way. I tried even to type french or english format as input for \unit but none output is right (actually I'd prefer to type french format as \unit input). Also, when there are "three digits" separators on both sides of the decimal point, some method outputs are not consistent.

I attached a not so minimal exemple.

Thanks for any idea to solve this.

Can you explain which numbers this should represent:

\m{12\,345,567\,89}~kg \m{345,567\,89}~kg

For get about this but you can try what happens when you don’t add a separator between the number groups in the decimal parts. Wolfgang
