You can also access historical information straight from Valor UF

Thanks to Juan Pablo, here is your answer:

0,50 is “cero coma cincuenta, o simplemente, cero coma cinco”. 0,05 is “cero coma cero cinco”

To simplify my question:
If they meant 0.50, would they write it as cero coma cincuenta. And if they meant 0.05, would they write it as cero coma cinco? (They never write cero coma cero cinco, I’ve noticed. If they did, then I wouldn’t have this question).

Muchisimas gracias,

I am translating Chilean lease documents & I keep coming up with a problem regarding the UF. I have to enter the number in our system and it converts to that day’s CLP. But I think I am making frequent errors. All the leases always write the number out in text only, i.e. cero coma cinco. Since they frequently have amounts that go out TWO decimal points, (i.e. cero coma treinte y tres: 0.33 UF) does that mean that the numeral for cero coma cinco is 0.5 or is it 0.05? Because if you enter 0.5 into a system, it will read it as 0.50 and the difference between 0.05 & 0.50 is huge. If they meant 0.50 would it read cero coma cincuenta?

I know I’m being confusing, but my job depends on answering this question which keeps coming up.

Gracias! Leslie
