Title:
  [SRU] thousands separator and decimal separator wrong in es_GT

Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “langpack-locales” source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  trusty SRU request
  ==================

  Please add a trusty task on both this bug report and bug #997248.

  [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
  calculator, or other gnome program that involves math, it's
  confusing."

  [Test Case]
  Before the fix:
  $ LC_NUMERIC=es_GT.UTF-8 printf "%'.2f\n" 12345,67
  12.345,67

  After the fix:
  $ LC_NUMERIC=es_GT.UTF-8 printf "%'.2f\n" 12345.67
  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.

  [Original description]
  In Guatemala the thousands separator is a comma and the decimal separator is a dot.  Had to change in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_GT:

  from:
  LC_NUMERIC
  copy "es_ES"
  END LC_NUMERIC

  to:
  LC_NUMERIC
  decimal_point "<U002E>"
  thousands_sep "<U002C>"
  grouping 3;3
  END LC_NUMERIC

  then sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

  lsb_release -rd
