I'm not sure to understand why you would consider "%.0f kbps" could be
some universal rate string format...
For instance, in french we would probably use a "%.0f Kb/s" format.

But the number format (comma or dot, number of decimal digits and so
on) should be taken from user's locale settings, while the place of
the number regarding the unit and the unit itself (kbps, Kb/s,
whatever) should be localisable.
It would be better if all this is done in one single place in Haiku source code.

Bye,
Philippe.
