Hi there,
just started with glide today and really like it so far.
After surfing the FAQ section i couldn’t find any information on these both questions. Hope somebody can help me.
1. We in Germany use the “.” as the thousand separator (1.000 instead of 1,000). (How) can i format number columns or “big number” fields that way?
2. Can i translated button field or default text, like “Submit” at button or “Filter by”. If yes, where?
Thanks a lot and kind reg,
Sabine

Language and Regional Locale settings should be automatic based on your browser an OS settings. Make sure you system is configure for German.

I would think that it would have taken care of both issues, unless there are some other settings that you need to adjust. You could try asking @Nex_Im. They are from Germany and have recent dealt with commas/decimal issues.

> Hello all! I am new to Glide so I may have problems with the basics. I want my map in Glide to show the addresses from my Google sheet table. In Google sheet I use the add-on from “AwesomeTable” to generate the longitude and latitude from an address. As I understand it, the coordinates must be something like: 00,00… or -00,00… But for me the coordinates are always separated by a dot after every three digits (e.g. 000.000.000…) I think this is also the reason why they are not displayed correct…

I tried it just now, and when I change the default language of my browser to German, it changes how it’s viewed in the table. OS Region setting didn’t seem to make a difference, but the browser definitely did. Browser language set to English: [image] Browser language set to German: [image] I didn’t have to do anything special other than make sure my browser is set correctly…so for me it’s working as expected.

Hey @Jeff_Hager -
Does all App chrome get localized automatically based on Browser/OS settings ?
In the below post, it has been suggested to use ‘Show New Screen’ in such a scenario. I’m curious when that would be needed if this is automatic.

I’m not sure what does is does not get converted. It’s supposed to be the case, but there may be missing pieces. If it doesn’t automatically translate, then yes, you may need to use alternative solutions.

Would really appreciate a list of things that do get translated, and I believe many people would be willing to help to translate more, if needed.
