Thousands & Decimal Separators by Country
The same number is written with completely different separators around the world. This reference shows the dominant convention for major languages and regions — exactly the formats the tool above produces.
| Country / Language | Thousands | Decimal | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| English (US · UK · AU · CA) | , | . | 1,234,567.89 |
| German (Germany · Austria) | . | , | 1.234.567,89 |
| French (France · Belgium) | (space) | , | 1 234 567,89 |
| Spanish (Spain) · Italian | . | , | 1.234.567,89 |
| Spanish (Mexico · Latin America) | , | . | 1,234,567.89 |
| Portuguese (Brazil) | . | , | 1.234.567,89 |
| German (Switzerland) · Swiss format | ' | . | 1'234'567.89 |
| Russian | (space) | , | 1 234 567,89 |
| Turkish · Indonesian · Dutch | . | , | 1.234.567,89 |
| Hindi · Indian English | , (2·3) | . | 12,34,567.89 |
| Chinese · Japanese · Korean | , | . | 1,234,567.89 |
| Arabic | ٬ | ٫ | ١٬٢٣٤٬٥٦٧٫٨٩ |
Conventions shown are the dominant business/everyday usage. Official standards can differ — e.g. ISO 31-0 and the Spanish RAE recommend a thin space as the thousands separator.
How to Convert Between US, EU and Indian Formats
US → European
Remove the commas, swap the decimal dot for a comma, then regroup thousands with dots (French/Russian style uses spaces): 1,234,567.89 → 1234567.89 → 1.234.567,89.
European → US
Strip every dot or space, then turn the decimal comma into a dot: 1.234.567,89 → 1234567.89 → 1,234,567.89. Never swap the two symbols in place — regroup from the plain number.
Any → Indian (lakh/crore)
Normalize to plain digits, group the last three, then pairs going left: 1234567.89 → 12,34,567.89. In words: 1 lakh = 100,000 and 1 crore = 10,000,000.
Golden rule: always normalize to plain digits first, then apply the target convention. Swapping separators in place is risky — 1.234 read as "one point two three four" instead of "1234" is a 1000× error.
