It looks like strfmon(7) was made just for this ; according to locale(7) :
LC_MONETARY
changes the information returned by localeconv()
which describes the way numbers are usually
printed, with details such as decimal point versus
decimal comma. This information is internally used
by the function strfmon().
I'm guessing that with (LC_ALL set to the proper value) strfmon will format
numbers nicely.
