math on the other side

[maelle]

In French we put the currency after the numbers. Now, the example that does not work has wrong punctuation but still, might be worth a note in the docs?

Sys.setenv(DEEPL_API_KEY = keyring::key_get("deepl"))

# works
babeldown::deepl_translate_markdown_string(
  "Plein de sous: $100",
  source_lang = "fr",
  target_lang = "EN-US"
)
#> [1] "Lots of money: $100"

# works
babeldown::deepl_translate_markdown_string(
  "Plein de sous: 100$!",
  source_lang = "fr",
  target_lang = "EN-US"
)
#> [1] "Lots of money: 100$!"

# doesn't work
babeldown::deepl_translate_markdown_string(
  "Plein de sous: 100$",
  source_lang = "fr",
  target_lang = "EN-US"
)

In French we put the currency after the numbers.

This is why international collaboration is important! I did not know this! We might be able to apply the same sort of rule as in #122 and maybe even apply the zipper in #123 in the reverse order to clean up.

I also read that in French we need to put a space before the $ but I had no idea so am not sure it's widespread.
