WeakAuras doesn't abbreviate big numbers correctly in east asian client

Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing open and closed issues.
Description
In East Asia counties, people use different numeral system to western countries (CN,KR,JP,TW)
reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_numerals
But WeakAuras is showing wrong number above 10k now
10k - 만(萬, 万) SECOND_NUMBER as GlobalString
100m - 억(億, 亿) THIRD_NUMBER as GlobalString
1000b - 조(兆) FOURTH_NUMBER as GlobalString
East asian uses that instead million and billion
WeakAuras is calculating 10m as 억(億, 亿) now. 10k is working correctly

I'm not interested in other addons, I'm interested n the base game. Also please add the output of /dump AbbreviateNumbers(10000000) to the ticket.
How about add custom function instead blizzard. I think KR client has the bug only
CN doesn't exist anymore, though JP has the same system. We'll check before deciding what we should do.
There's apparently no JP-client, and the CN client can connect to TW servers.
The bug is indeed in blizzard's code, more details at Stanzilla/WoWUIBugs#515
Now we have to decide what WA should do about that.
