French term or phrase: Number formats , or . ?
I'm struggling with the number formats used in a French annual report for a company's turnover. Most of the numbers are written in this format:

"2 054 millions d'euros", which I've translated as 2,054 million euros, or

"2.398,7 millions d'euros", which I've translated as 2,398.7 million euros.

And then I found these two numbers that I'm not sure what to do with:

"209.54 millions" and "8.08 millions". What should this be in English? 209,54 and 8,08 million? The client has confirmed that the numbers are in the French format.

thanks!
