    Why this matters

    Numbers, dates, and currency must follow local conventions to signal quality to users and search engines, avoiding user confusion and ranking penalties.

    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Identify numeric formats used in source content including numbers, currencies, and dates.
    2. Research correct numeric formats for each target locale (e.g., decimal separators, currency symbols placement).
    3. Review localized pages to ensure these numeric formats have been updated accordingly in metadata and body text.
    4. Test localized pages with native speakers or locale-aware tools to confirm correct rendering and comprehension.
    5. Include localization of numeric formats in QA checklists and maintain practices in ongoing translation workflows.

    Watch for

    Using source language numeric formats for localized pages may reduce user trust and hurt SEO.

    Definition of done

    Localized pages display numbers, dates, and currencies formatted correctly according to each locale's standards.
