Locale number formatting
Is there any chance to get locale specific number formatting in customer emails? In German for example numbers use a comma ',' instead of a period '.' to separate fractional digits. Its a tiny thing but customers tend to be pedantic about it.
So far I have localized the emails based on a custom meta property included in the customer data and simple if/else switching. I have also refrained from using any number values but there are some places where it is quite relevant.
Thanks in advance

Hi Nico,
Internationalization of our email templates is a long term goal of ours. You could probably use one of the Smarty variable modifiers, such as,
string_format, to alter the number format by locale, but this is obviously not ideal.We are confident that we could build a more formal solution for localized number formatting. We would treat this as accelerated development and would be comfortable splitting some of the costs. A rough estimate of the amount of work is 15 hours. If this interests you, we could put together a proposal for the work to be done.
Best,
Drew
