Description Martin Sebor 2008-01-11 00:38:21 UTC 
The LC_NUMERIC section of the glibc Bulgarian locale definition is the only
locale that specifies the empty string for thousands_sep. I don't think that's
correct. I believe the Bulgarian numeric format is in the form ### ### ###,
i.e., thousands_sep should be set to space. I don't have an authoritative
reference to back this up other than the value observed on non-glibc platforms
and a link to the Unicode cldr file for the Bulgarian locale:

Nothing will be changed unless official references are provided.  CLDR of course
doesn't count.
Comment 2 Paolo Carlini 2010-01-08 18:28:00 UTC 
I'm not sure to understand this PR: I just went through the
/usr/share/i18n/locales directory of a current Linux installation (glibc
2.10.1), and I can see literally *tens* of locales with thousands_sep an empty
string!! What I'm missing?
Comment 3 Wei-Lun Chao 2013-09-13 06:13:42 UTC 
That is
thousands_sep             ""
should be
thousands_sep             "<U00A0>"
?
Comment 4 Roumen Petrov 2013-09-14 09:23:35 UTC 
No we (Bulgarian) don't use space as separator !

Restoring changes lost in system crash and restore from backup.
