NumberFormat.simpleCurrency for es_CO with COP symbol on right and not left

[migueloli]

When we set the locale for es_CO with name as COP he changes the position of the $ from left to right.

code examples executed on DartPad:

// This shows the $ at left

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

void main() {
  final format = NumberFormat.simpleCurrency(name: 'COP');
  print(format.format(100));
}

// This shows the $ at right

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

void main() {
  Intl.defaultLocale = 'es_CO';
  final format = NumberFormat.simpleCurrency(name: 'COP');
  print(format.format(100));
}

// This shows the $ at right

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

void main() {
  final format = NumberFormat.simpleCurrency(locale: 'es_CO', name: 'COP');
  print(format.format(100));
}

// This shows the $ at left

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

void main() {
  final format = NumberFormat.simpleCurrency(locale: 'en', name: 'COP');
  print(format.format(100));
}

This is because the es_CO locale probably falls back to es_419, which specifies the currency to be on the right. So it is working as intended.

Hey @mosuem, thanks for the reply

On dartpad these two options show the $ to the left of the value ($100.00) as is expected for Colombia:

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

void main() {
  Intl.defaultLocale = 'es_419';
  final format = NumberFormat.simpleCurrency(locale: 'en_419' ,name: 'COP');
  print(format.format(100));
}

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

void main() {
  final format = NumberFormat.simpleCurrency(locale: 'es_419' ,name: 'COP');
  print(format.format(100));
}

Ah, indeed es_CO is not known and falls back to es, not es_419. This should be fixed, or will be in the (hopefully out of experimental soon) package:intl4x.

awesome, thank you very much
