I have to add that...
depends of the use of numbers, units....
becase...in finances, it's common use the periods for separate thousands and "thousand of million"...
in english billions are "miles de millones" in Spanish...
but, in engineering..it's very common use the English format to separate the millions and the thousands...and the dots are using for separate decimals.
the date format in Spanish...are as follows..
"day / month / year"
the money format in Mexico are as follows:
"$mmm,mm,cc.00"... where: mmm (Miles de millones, billions in English)
there was the English format, and it's very common in Mexico, because Mexico is near of the US, but in Spain the format are as follows:
"mmm.mm.cc,00" it's similar than Mexico, buy you will replace the commas with dots.
the engineering format are as follows:
"mmm,mm,cc.00" and you can use the Scientific Numbers, "1x10e16, 1x10e-16".
in Mexican Engineering it's very common use the American Measurement units like: Inches, foot, cubic foot, gallon...
the American Measurement units are used indistinctly with "SI" (International system Units)
like: Metro, Second, Kilogramo...
and, that is because Mexico is near of the United States.
