Despite being the conventional standard (and the LUX default), Great Britain and the United States are two of the few places in the world that use a period to indicate the decimal place. Many other countries use a comma instead. Likewise, while the UK and US often use a comma to separate groups of thousands, many other countries use a period instead, and some countries separate groups of thousands with a thin space.
Region | FormatUS and UK |
|---|---|
Most English-speaking countries | 1,275.28 |
Most Many European countries | 1.275,28 |
Canada and some European countries | 1 275,0028 |
As with Date and Time above, all applications built for Verint should allow the decimal character defaults to be automatically changed based on the users specified browser locale (or by a manual setting, if an application allows it). Details of conventions for specific countries and regions are available here.
Large Numbers
In LUX, large numbers may be represented using K for thousands and M for millions, which is the common practice in most countries.
The number | May be represented as |
|---|---|
1,380 | 1.38K |
2,040,296 | 2.04M |
Text Expansion
Always design with text expansion in mind. When English text gets translated into another language, the translated text can be as much as 3x longer. Make UI components expandable whenever possible. Do not assign a fixed width or height to your UI component unless you have a good reason to.
