English-language locale reference

Central & Southeast European Typography Profiles

A comparison hub for the conservative SK, HU, RO, HR, and SI profiles, which extend useful date, number, currency, and consistency checks without claiming complete national style coverage.

Publication locale, not translation

This page is written in English. The locale codes describe the text being typeset and the convention Avellio applies; they do not indicate the language of this web page.

At a glance

Quotation marks

Quote expectations are conservative and must be checked against the publication’s national style guide.

Punctuation spacing

Avellio reports targeted consistency evidence rather than general language correctness.

Non-breaking spaces

Recognized number–unit and currency relationships use locale-aware spacing evidence.

Dates

SK, RO, HR, and SI use dot/ISO-oriented models; HU uses year–month–day.

Numbers

Space grouping and decimal comma are expected.

Currency

EUR/€, HUF/Ft, RON/lei and national context are mapped by profile.

Units

Recognized units use protected spacing subject to context guards.

Regional variants

SK is derived conservatively from the Czech base but excludes the Czech one-letter-word rule.

House-style caveat

These profiles are useful QA layers, not comprehensive encodings of every national typography manual.

How to use this with Avellio

  1. Assign accurate InDesign paragraph languages before relying on AUTO.
  2. Use an explicit profile when one regional convention governs the complete scope.
  3. Run a new Typography Audit after changing locale.
  4. Read locale source, specificity, confidence, and context together.
  5. Correct ambiguous dates, numbers, currencies, and complete quote pairs manually.
