Thanks for your answer.
However I'm not sure what you mean here:

_ tweaking on the CSV side? Sure I can, but I'd rather not: the file has 
other uses, besides being importe in LibreOffice; also it's already 
correct (for some definition of correct, i.e. English locale);

_ tweaking during import? I don't see any option to choose decimal 
separator; only locale setting, which, as I said, does not work.

_ settings decimal separator globally? This is not what my customer 
wants: she wants to work with Italian locale, but be able to import this 
single file with dot as decimal separator; the option seems to be there, 
just not working.

_ Something else? What?




What I'm trying to understand is whether the fact that setting locale in 
the import dialog has no effect is a bug (which I should report) or if 
I'm just trying something that will never work conveniently and I'll 
need to think about a different workflow.

 bye & Thanks
        av.
