Django 2 by Example

Format localization

Depending on the user's locale, you might want to display dates, times, and numbers in different formats. The localized formatting can be activated by changing the USE_L10N setting to True in the settings.py file of your project.

When USE_L10N is enabled, Django will try to use a locale-specific format whenever it outputs a value in a template. You can see that decimal numbers in the English version of your site are displayed with a dot separator for decimal places, while in the Spanish version they are displayed using a comma. This is due to the locale formats specified for the es locale by Django. You can take a look at the Spanish formatting configuration at https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/2.0.x/django/conf/locale/es/formats.py ...
