Tunisia

Tunisia uses comma. Please update the file. Thanks. --DrFO.Jr.Tn (talk) 18:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Lack of sources

I added quite a few countries based on various WP articles and by visiting govt websites. I found that several countries we had were wrong. We should really ref the countries so others can verify the map is accurate. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:49, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

South Africa

South Africa officially uses the comma. See: The International Metric System (SI), Guide to the use of the SI in South Africa, The Council of the South African Bureau of Standards, M 33a, 1992 The South African Government Notice R.1146, 5/06/1974 The Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI) http://www.docstoc.com/docs/75020126/Guide-for-the-Use-of-the-International-System-of-Units-_SI_

Croatia

Kwamikagami's massive unsourced revision was bound to introduce several errors. In Croatian, the decimal comma is official according to every orthographic manual of Croatian, including the latest Government-sanctioned official orthographic manual of the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics. See: http://pravopis.hr/pravilo/zarez/60

Switzerland

As explained here, Switzerland uses the comma in general usage. The period is only used for monetary values. Therefore, Switzerland should be coloured as a comma country. The period in monetary values is called a »Sortenpunkt«, a dot (=Punkt) to divide between several units of measurement (=Sorten). Similarly, “12.30” is sometimes used to indicate the time “half past twelve”. Nobody would say here that this period is a decimal mark. -- David N. Jansen (talk) 02:15, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me that the monetary use is a clear example of how a country uses a decimal separator.--Maulucioni (talk) 13:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Difference between colors for decimal period and both

Color for decimal period and both are so similar, it is hard to tell whether Croatia, Lebanon, Luxembourg and Switzerland use decimal period or both. Perhaps the color for decimal period could be a darker shade of blue. 193.198.162.14 08:06, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, as part of the French Republic, uses the same system as France, it shouldn't be grey. Also, some green dots seem to be missing in the West Indies as Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Barthélemy and the French part of Saint-Martin should give four green dots. --Birdie (talk) 18:44, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

This official French-language webpage uses 10 000.1 format.—AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 20:07, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Peru

In Peru, a decimal point is used much more frequently than the comma. The color on the map should indicate mixed use, as in Canada. Please update the file.

Upgrade

Since I do not handle SVG, I have created an update in PNG according to what is expressed in this discussion: File: Decimal separator.png. --Maulucioni (talk) 15:58, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

With respect, because you clearly put in effort, it would have been much easier to install Inkscape and use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + V a few times than to fill a whole png map as you did (though, admittedly, if simply copying styles as I just described, you have to be careful regarding the thickness of countries' borders if they have islands).—AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 21:17, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your advice.--Maulucioni (talk) 15:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
