What does 2.6 mean in French? What date is this?

Question

How would 2.6 be written in French? What does the decimal mean?

Accepted Answer

Hi Barb,
I am not sure if by 2.6 you are meaning the subdivisions used in documentation when in French you would use the point.
If so, take a look at my answer to a similar question -

Answer

Do you mean the date which, interpreting it the American way, would be 6 February? The French way would be 2 June. The decimal point in French numbers is a comma, not a point. The number "2.6" would be written as 2,6 and spoken as deux virgule six.
