As reported on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:ParserFunctions/Use_comma_as_decimal_separator and https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=36562067&uselang=en#Re:_Casas_decimais_no_ParserFunctions a code such as {{#expr: 1,5 * 3 }} doesn't work on ptwiki: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=36571994&uselang=en (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character ",".) Currently, we have the following on languages/messages/MessagesPt.php: > $separatorTransformTable = array( ',' => "\xc2\xa0", '.' => ',' ); so, the character "," should be treated as the decimal separator, and the result should be 4.5, as if the user had used {{#expr: 1.5 * 3 }} on enwiki. A user suggested at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:ParserFunctions/Use_comma_as_decimal_separator/reply_(3) the following change: Add > $expr = str_replace( ',', '.', $expr ); to the begin of ExprParser::doExpression() and replaced line 82 in ExtParserFunctions::expr() with > $result = self::getExprParser()->doExpression( $expr ); > $result = $parser->mOptions->mUserLang->formatNum( $result ); > return $result; The first replaces all commas in a given expression with dots and the second formats the output in the user language. Could something like this be changed in the extension's code, for use on Portuguese Wikipedia?
Someone?
