- I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.
- I have written a short but informative title.
- I will fill out all of the requested information in this form.
In German, numbers are usually formatted with spaces only, like 0123 4567 8910. I don't think we will find a number format that is intuitive for users with different locales.
Hi would it be an easy solution with something like this?
PseudoCode:
if locale = United States then format = xxx-xxx-xxxx
elseif locale = German then format = xxx xxxx xxxx
Well, by that we have 2 out of 200 possible locales covered 🙈
Your right, makes sense!
I'm not sure how stock Google Contacts does it since we can't see the code.
I think that the option to add spaces is enough, at least for now.
I am sure that somwhere there exists a library that would adapt the format for the locales, but I do not know of it.
Yes I think spaces would be great as it at least groups the numbers for easier deciphering:
I am able to add spaces in 8.1 using AnySoftKeyboard.
