Be consistent within each document or dataset.
Use thin spaces (Option + Space) for thousands separators in Swedish if formatting allows.
Avoid mixing systems (e.g., 1,234,56).
For currencies, include the symbol and spacing consistently:
Swedish: 1 234,50 kr
English: SEK 1,234.50 or €1,234.50
In structured tables (like Airtable or Excel), rely on locale settings rather than manual separators.
