DECIMAL_SEPERATOR and
LARGE_NUMBER_SEPERATOR are defined in
GlobalStrings.lua, misspelled variable names and all.
Also, for decimals,
string.format("%.1fk", "32765") will return "32.7k" or "32,7k" depending on your locale. There is no digit grouping function built into Lua, though, so you'll have to write your own.

For example, 32,765 becomes 33k (nearest thousand) or 32.8k (nearest hundred)?

I'd prefer 33k (or even 32k; accuracy is less important than brevity in this context) but as long as it's only one decimal place, either way is acceptable.
