Title: I’m having an issue with 3.8.2 In fr… Author: Xavier Borderie Published: April 11, 2014 --- [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xibe/) [Xavier Borderie](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xibe/) 2:39 pm _on_ April 11, 2014   # I’m having an issue with 3.8.2 In fr… I’m having an issue with 3.8.2. In fr_FR, we use HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. entities in order to have correct French typography, especially nbsp (non-breaking space). For example, while in English numbers are written “1,234.56”, in French it should be “1 234,56” (with a nbsp). Hence, we translate “number_format_thousands_sep” into“& nbsp;”. Problem is, it seems that since 3.8.2, thousands appear as “1&234” rather than “ 1 234”. I’ve received reports, and I could test in WPFR’s own blog: “Akismet a déjà protégé votre site de 299&115 commentaires indésirables.” or “8&922 éléments”. Did anything change entities-wise in 3.8.2? ### Share this: * [ Threads ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=threads) * [ Bluesky ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=bluesky) * [ Facebook ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=x) * [ Mastodon ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=mastodon) * [ WhatsApp ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ LinkedIn ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?share=linkedin) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fpolyglots%2F2014%2F04%2F11%2Fim-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) * [To-do](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/04/11/im-having-an-issue-with-3-8-2-in-fr/?output_format=md#) 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1a7df76f4f6519a5618c32428b277a5c7a89798394965b67e50528ca57c1b5a8? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 2.

What did you change? Already we no longer have the title tag in images, which is unforgivable, unprofessional. WordPress will not lose its greatness, because it is successful?
