"Is your annual household income (gross) under CHF 20 000?"
If translated into French (CH), what are the punctuation rules exactly to translate big numbers?
I've seen things like "20'000" (http://grandvillard-ch.omnis.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/t... is it the correct way to write it?
And is CHF placed before or after the number? As I've seen both so far...
Thanks for your help!

CHF 20'000
To judge from the contents of this Swiss website, it is
CHF 20'000.- (presumably CHF 250'000) is also OK.
(that should be CHF, space, 20, apostrophe, 000, dot, dash (which I have written because the ProZ system may put a backslash before the apostrophe)
Search for
CHF 250'000.-
on that page:
http://www.swisslos.ch/euromillions/fr/lottoportal/euromilli...
(or perhaps just search for "CHF" on that page, in case the contents change)

CHF est l’abréviation officielle du franc suisse, la devise de la Confédération helvétique.
La Suisse a quatre langues officielles. De ce fait, le CHF est connu sous le nom de “Schweizer Franken” en allemand, “Franc suisse” en français, “Franco svizzero” en italien et “Franc svizzer” en langue romande.
La franc suisse est souvent représenté par le symbole CHF, Fr. ou SFr. Elle est l’une des devises les plus échangées au monde.
Le franc suisse a été officiellement reconnu comme devise de la Suisse en mai 1850. Il remplaça plusieurs devises alors émises par les différents cantons du pays. C’est le gouvernement fédéral suisse qui prit cette décision dans le but de simplifier un système monétaire complexe.
L'abréviation bancaire officielle est CHF

I don't know how it works in Switzerland or Canada but in France, you can either use the full stop "." or leave a space when you write big numbers, so either 20.000 or 20 000 for twenty thousands and the abreviation is usually put after the numbers.
Otherwise the French use the comma "," for small units and in this case 20,000 means twenty.
