    /com/sample/sales/web/messages_ru.properties

    coordinateFormat = #,##0.00000

    SomeClass.java

    @Inject
protected Messages messages;
@Inject
protected UserSessionSource userSessionSource;
...
String coordinateFormat = messages.getMainMessage("coordinateFormat");
FormatStrings formatStrings = Datatypes.getFormatStrings(userSessionSource.getLocale());
NumberFormat format = new DecimalFormat(coordinateFormat, formatStrings.getFormatSymbols());

String formattedValue = format.format(value);
