French
There are formatting problems when creating reports, statements, tax receipts, etc. in French. In terms of the text, it is easy to select the correct language templates (FR or EN in our case). But when it comes to formatting of dates and numbers, it is important for these to come correctly from the system.
In French, the date format should be: YYYY/MM/DD or Le DD MM YYYY if written out in words, with the name of the month written in French (not English) and beginning with a small letter (not a capital).
For dollar amounts, they need to be presented as follows: 000 000,00 $ and NOT $ 000,000.00 as we do in English.
If the system can not provide this, we have to re-enter all these details manually, which takes time and is more likely to introduce errors.
