[Bug 1765422] Re: hr_HR locale file has wrong thousands separator

[Krešimir Kovačević]

Hi Gunnar,

Thanks on detailed info.
I will contact Dragan Stanojević as you suggested.

FYI:
My background for changing " " => "." as thousands separator:

All CNB (Croatian National Bank) reports has . as thousands separator (www.hnb.hr).
All receipts that you will see in Croatia has . as thousands separator.
All banking apps use . as thousands separator (just checked few random banks).
Just browsed through Croatian Constitution, again ".".
Croatian Ministry of Finance use ".". 
And most unpopular reason that I can think of: Windows 10 (and all previous versions) has "." as thousands and "," for decimal separator (numeric and monetary). You just forced me to find pc with windows :D

I do not know from where " " as thousands separator comes from.

BR,
Krešimir
