But in which places is Emacs using localized strings at all?

Everything that comes from strftime, for example.  You see that in
action in the tooltip shown when the mouse pointer is above the
mode-line time string, after turning on display-time.

Ok, then setting LC_NUMERIC to "C" means that integer numbers displayed in
tooltips and other parts of the UI are not localized, while dates and other
strings are.


I don't think there is a place in Emacs where just a number is displayed.
Strings will be localized and they presumably have , in them if that is right
for the LC_MESSAGE locale.


If the number is hardcoded in the string that is. That is probably not the common case though.
