The Vietnamese-language wikis currently use the default, English-language-style separators for large and decimal numbers (commas for large numbers, and the period as the decimal). For the most part, Vietnamese-speakers use the European notation, with periods for large numbers, and the comma as the decimal. I am aware that this change should be made in the LanguageVi.php file; however, we are still working on translating that, and it'll take some time, since we now have to account for the changes in MediaWiki 1.5. For the time being, it would be nice if the Vietnamese-language wikis (especially Wikipedia) would be modified to use the European notation, to avoid any confusion. The code for doing this could come from the Icelandic localization file: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/languages/LanguageIs.php
To be clear, do you want "500 000,12" or "500.000,12" ?
"500.000,12". Sorry for not being clear about that. By the way, do you know of any work going on for a user preference for number formats, or is this going to be handled solely with the interface language preference?

I made a new language file for Vietnamese and commited it to CVS HEAD, marking this as FIXED. And I don't think anyone's working on a user preference for number formats.
REOPENING bug; this fix was backed out by Bug 2143. According to the discussion there, the agreement is still to use the European number separators. Also changing product to MediaWiki, to reflect the fact that MediaWiki now contains a decently Vietnamese localization, so this bug no longer affects just the Vietnamese Wikimedia projects.
Fixed in HEAD.
When will the Wikimedia sites reflect this fix? Will we have to wait until the next release?
Whenever a developer with the appropriate permissions synchronises the Wikimedia install with the latest alpha version.
