Description
Hi, I'm having a really weird behavior regarding the thousand separator using the same settings as I used with Django 4.1.9 but it breaks in Django 4.2 and 4.2.1.
The settings are
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es-CL'
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = True
THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = "."
In Django 4.1 (tested both in 4.1.1 and 4.1.9), with the settings above, when I call numbers on template it shows correctly like 9.800 (with the dot specified in the thousand separator), but in Django 4.2 and 4.2.1, the same template with the same settings shows 9 800 (with a blank space as thousand separator), I tried switching on and off the USE_L10N and USE_I18N but nothing happens and the documentation does not says anything about a change of the thousand separator in templates, might be that in the new version it could be necessary to use the humanize or similar tag to display the thousand separator now?
It's also weird that when I set USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = False, the blank space drops and it shows 9800
This happens in all my templates
Thanks to the discord user sarahboyce for pointing a commit made to the django project https://github.com/django/django/commit/9f20f382cab9241f2e8ec724eb84d341a68567bc that changes the thousand separator from a dot "." to "\xa0", and the settings applied in settings.py does not override this.

Hola Pablo, could you please share an example of code that would work as expected in Django < 4.2 but it does not work as expected in Django 4.2 or higher? I'm not being able to reproduce the issue (in fact, neither Django 4.1 or Django 4.2 are honoring my settings, so I must be doing something wrong).
Thanks!

In my settings I use across Django 4.1 and 4.2.
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es-CL'
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = True
THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = '.'
TIME_ZONE = 'America/Santiago'
In Django 4.1 I call a model using the model.object.get(), the model has
int_value= models.IntegerField(default=0)
then I return the object to the template to show it on screen.
In my templates I call it with
Value ${{obj.int_value}}
For example, one object has int_value 15340
In the template with django up to 4.1.9, it shows "Value $15.340", the format that i want it.
In the template with django 4.2 and 4.2.1 it shows "Value $15 340", with the blank space instead of the dot as thousand_separator.
Django will ignore my settings of the Thousand Separator that I declared on my settings.py, it might be that in all of this time, the setting was ignores but de default thousand separator was the dot, until the commit that i linked on the original ticket when it changed to a blank space.
If i change the Setting USE_I18N
and/or USE_L10N
and keep the other settings intact, the only impact is that the number will lose the thousand separator and the language of the app.

I would suggest you use instead custom locale format file(s): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/i18n/formatting/#creating-custom-format-files
Hi, I don't think you've explained the issue in enough detail to confirm a bug in Django.
THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
for thees
language was changed intentionally, and as documented: "ifUSE_L10N
is set toTrue
, then the locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead". Also, in Django 5.0+ the locale-dictated format always has higher precedence.Please reopen the ticket if you can provide a sample project that reproduces the issue.
