Laurent BP stated:
This is a problem for all locales which uses comma as decimal separator. In
this cases, even if ".CSV" files are used, the comma cannot be used as
column separator.
Eike Rathke replied:
Not true. The comma can still be used as separator, just the field
values need to be enquoted if they contain a comma. Which we do.
Enquoting values may be done by LO, but lots of third party programs do not.
Dutch software often produces files with commas for decimal separators and
other characters as field separators (e.g. semicolons).
As stupid as this may seem, even software provided by the Dutch government
(like http://car.infomil.nl) works like this.
I'm afraid Calc will be rendered almost useless for Dutch users if un-enquoted
commas are treated as field separators...
