Thanks for the explanation and example, I get it, but I'm not
getting it to work.

First, for me it says "decimal sign in locale is ." after
I set it to French; and after that it's still 14000000, i.e.
no grouping.

14M would be optimal IMO but 14 000 000 much better than
14000000 and "good enough for government work" I guess.
