+ [Impact]
+ The LC_NUMERIC formats are imported from the es_ES locale to several Latin American locales with other conventions for thousands_sep and decimal_point, which results in incorrect number formating.
+ 
+ Quoting from bug #997248: "This problem is seen when I try to use the

+ 12,345.67
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ There might exist scripts that adapts to the current incorrect behavior. Given that 14.04 was recently released, fixing the bug ought to carry greater weight.
