34543	Thousand separator breaking templates	Pablo Riquelme	nobody	"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."
