Dolphin doesn’t use the locale ‘number formatting’ settings for displaying the number of files in a folder. For example, for a folder containing 1009 files, it *should* show 1,009 items for an ‘en-US’ locale (which uses a comma as the thousands separator) and 1 009 items for a locale that uses a space as a thousands separator (e.g. the Norwegian Nynorsk (nn_NO) locale). Instead, it just shows 1009 items Note that for file *sizes*, the correct formatting *is* used, e.g. ‘1,009 B’ for a 1009-byte file. I’ll attach a screenshot and a reproducible example.
Created attachment 113326 [details] Example showing wrong formatting for numbers but correct formatting for file sizes Here’s some simple shell commands to reproduce the folder shown in the screenshot (run it from an empty folder): printf '=%.0s' {1..1009} > myfile.txt mkdir myfolder cd myfolder seq 1 1009 | xargs touch dolphin ..
Hm, https://cgit.kde.org/dolphin.git/tree/src/kitemviews/kfileitemlistwidget.cpp#n74 says it uses i18ncp, which _should_ respect the locale. Could be an ki18n issue.
This bug seems to be fixed by this commit to ki18n: https://phabricator.kde.org/R249:b0dbb285bd2119fe980a714f7d01ec140f2b8138
