--- title: 'Best Practices for number formatting' description: 'Compare the canonical number, currency and date layouts that the components produce for each locale.' version: 11.2.2 generatedAt: 2026-05-11T08:17:55.952Z checksum: 090b7d977ba4be5e2c4c04d199a30a4048416c59f443a56985df2f80629d9c40 --- # Number formatting reference This page shows the canonical number, currency and date layouts that the components produce for each locale. For detailed prop lists, see the [NumberFormat](/uilib/components/number-format) component and the [DateFormat](/uilib/components/date-format) component. The tables below focus on the locales most commonly used at DNB (`nb-NO`, `en-GB`, `sv-SE` and `da-DK`), but Eufemia supports many more region/locale combinations. Any valid [BCP 47](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag) locale supported by the browser's `Intl` APIs – for example `en-NO` (English – Norway) or `en-US` – can be passed to the `locale` prop and will be formatted accordingly. --- ## Phone number ```tsx render(
