Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Closing LibreOffice results in a crash

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.

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
