In a message sent on March 13, 2014 at 4:37:02 PM, slush suggested displaying information based on locale. However, Luke responded by stating that Bitcoin has always been intended to be locale-independent. This is evidenced by the fact that BTC uses the xxx,xxx,xxx.xx format even in locales where commas and periods are swapped. Localizing display can make different locales incompatible at a human level, even if they use the same blockchain. Therefore, it is important to maintain locale independence in Bitcoin to ensure compatibility across all locales.
