Use the locale in String.formtat()

[armandomonteiroptc]

Describe the bug The string format should benefit from the Faker locale (Locale.ENGLISH by default), otherwise a formatted string like the longitude or latitude, can be 1.234567 or 1,234567 depending in the Locale.

To Reproduce

Using a String.format("%.8g", (faker.random().nextDouble() * 180) - 90);

• depends on external JVM configuration
  • if Locale PT then 1,234567.

Using a String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%.8g", (faker.random().nextDouble() * 180) - 90);

• controlled by the application
  • then 1.234567.

String.format()

Expected behavior String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%.8g", (faker.random().nextDouble() * 180) - 90);

• controlled by the application
  • then 1.234567.

Versions:

• OS: Any
• JDK: Any
• Faker Version: using 0.18 - however the implementation seems to be the same in the last version

Yes we have the same problem. Locale ignored for String.format().
