Describe the bug
I am testdriving Paisa.
I entered a single sample entry of:
2023/10/01 Salary
Income:Salary:Acme -100,00 Eur
Assets:Checking 100,00 Eur
I have configured my settings to use EUR
for currency and my locale is set to en-US
(yes, I am in Europe but I prefer en-US for my locale.
Unfortunately on the dashboard page I see my total worth as 10,000
which looks totally wrong as it appears I have 10 thousand Euros, while I only have 100.
Expected behavior
I would expect the number to appear as 100.00
I know it is a localization error but I see no way of fixing it from the configuration settings or anywhere else.
Thanks!
couple of questions
- in the sample you use
100,00 Eur
, this is 100 EUR or 10000 EUR? - commodity is case sensitive, make sure you use the correct value everywhere. In the example transaction you are using smaller case.
For 1.
: This would be 100 EUR. In this case ,
is the decimal separator.
In this case , is the decimal separator.
This is not supported. Decimals can only be separated by .
Sorry for the delay here. Yes the amount was 100.00 Euros (one hundred)
I was expecting to see the same number in the dashboard. That is: 100.00. This is the most standard way to display decimal numbers. @tribly is also right in regards to a comma separator (like in 100,00) but this is NOT the correct separator for en-US.
One thing for sure is that 10,000 is really-really wrong. To the point that the whole app (regardless of how pretty or useful it might be) it is unusable.
Thanks again!
if you use .
you would get 100
EUR. Using ,
as a decimal separator is not supported. ,
can be used to separate thousands or hundreds or whatever format you want. Paisa does show 100
in the UI in many places instead of 100.00
, I will add support for precision
soon.

Looks like ledger already supports European convention, I need to check the details and see if it can be supported by Paisa as well.
@tribly @stratosgear I have added support for European formatting in the latest release. You have to do a couple of things to get it working. 1) Add a commodity format directive, example below. Set the locale to es-EU
. Let me know if it works for you.
commodity EUR
format 1.000,00 EUR

Looks good, thanks!
