You think that about math not being localized too?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

There are some local differences in math notation, e.g. . vs. , as a decimal separator, vs. × for multiplication, : vs ÷ for division et cetera.

Technically math is localised, especially in places that don't use the western alphabet.
