dot separator in French

quentin.theuret · **Posted:** Mon Nov 16, 2009 2:59 pm

Hello everybody,

In French, the number separator for precision is the dot (.). But in the GTK Client, when I push on the dot key on the numpad, nothing append. I want to know how configure the client or my OS to use the dot key to display a comma.

Best Regards,

Quentin

Hi,

Same problem here.
I try to change the decimal point character from "float" fields from "," (comma in the french locale default) to "." (point in "C" locale)
I have made the change below, and tested on GNU/Linux successfully, but on MS Windows (Win32) it doesn't work.
I want to know if it is possible on MS Windows.

Any hint appreciated.

Thanks.

IMHO GTK should do it the Koo-way
Koo accepts . and , as decimal separator and converts it automatically.
all other options are bound to fail because of the vast number of possible hardware and software configurations.

Hello,

I think you should take this way :

Thanks ferdinand and zeekom for answers.

I found another "dirty" solution, which should works on all OS,
and allow to enter dot or comma as decimal separator.

Thanks
