Hi,<br><br>this is about the output format of numerical, money-type and date-type data. This is also language dependent; for example in Hungarian decimal sign is a comma rather then dot and the thousand separator is a space, not a comma. (In computer environment preferably a non breaking space.) Will the interface of Wikidata handle these national/local differences? I think this would be much more efficient than let the recipient projects transform data to their own format.<br>
<br>Some Wikipedias use templates to translate miles to kilometers and vice versa. This translation often fails due to a format error and results in funny values. (Example: a train station that is 31 km away from the town. [1]) As Wikidata has controlled data, the conversion of measurment units would be useful to solve locally, and serve data in the desired format. (A mile expressed in kilometers is also a piece of data that can be stored, but may perhaps need stronger protection as it has an effect on the outut of many other data -- such as a highly used template is editable for admins only.)<br>
