Hi Tom,

other programs respect my locale setting. For example the OOo that
comes with Mandriva is in German and uses the German locale setting,
the same is true for the "vanilla" version of OOo. It is just LibO,
where I am not able to change to the German UI and the German locale.

Can you use the , instead or . for currency in any other locale settings, for
example the global setting for Mandriva on your machine?  We had this problem in
Ubuntu's Launchpad Answers section a long time ago and found the South African
settings refused to allow the , to be used and it turned out to be a
long-running argument in the translators/LoCo team.  Apparently the vocal
majority saw . as being more modern and/or less dispruptive because the , is
used as a special character in formatting apparently

I've never heard that the , is used as a special character. What I do
know, is, depending on your locale, the settings for exporting or
importing a csv file might differ. (I guess, that's the reason, why
OOo/LibO gives you a dialog where you can specify what the delimiter
for the values in those files is).

But besides this, I don't know of any other formatting case.

Sigrid
