std::numpunct

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <locale>
template< class charT >
class numpunct : public std::locale::facet;

The facet std::numpunct encapsulates numeric punctuation preferences. Stream I/O operations use std::numpunct through std::num_get and std::num_put for parsing numeric input and formatting numeric output.

Two specializations are provided by the standard library

Defined in header <locale>
std::numpunct<char> provides equivalents of the "C" locale preferences
std::numpunct<wchar_t> provides wide character equivalents of the "C" locale preferences

[edit] Example

The following example changes the string representations of true and false

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
 
struct french_bool : std::numpunct<char> {
    string_type do_truename() const { return "oui"; }
    string_type do_falsename() const { return "non"; }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << "default locale: "
              << std::boolalpha << true << ", " << false << '\n';
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::cout.getloc(), new french_bool()));
    std::cout << "locale with modified numpunct: "
              << std::boolalpha << true << ", " << false << '\n';
}

Output:

default locale: true, false
locale with modified numpunct: oui, non
