 > Why can't we pass non-{{{number_format()}}}'d version to {{{ngettext}}}
 and then use the {{{number_format()}}}'d version in the {{{sprintf()}}} ?
 See patch.

 that translators can provide for a locale's number formatting?  For
 instance, in India they format numbers differently.  (open a separate
 ticket if you agree)


 That is why I wanted to remove the formatting. It will be a little burden
 for translators to dig into {{{number_format}}} options. On the other side
 it would be nice to have formatted numbers. If you say so, we will arange
 the things for translators :-)
