Put a comma in stead of a period?

Post by Draakje »

Hi all,

As I am from Holland I would like to have a comma as the decimal separator.
Is there a way to change this is the view? So instead of 4.324 kWh consumption I see 4,324 kWh (makes more sense to me :D )

Regards,

Ronald

I'm confused; 4.324 is the number 4, with an accuracy of 3 decimal places & 4,324 is four thousand, three hundred and twenty four.

Most of the western world is using decimal comma. It pretty much only English spoken countries that uses decimal point.

Thanks for the clarification, @andnyg - I thought Maths was a universal language, but it seems like the scope for confusion & misinterpretation is large, as we've tied the representation of numbers, into our language, rather than keeping it separate - what a crazy world we live in!

Do you think that this number-display thing warrants an individual configuration setting or to be tied into language/regional settings?

furriephillips: I think it should be tied into the language/regional setting, just as you don't normally have to set time zone etc, it fetches that from computer settings. As how to do that, I have not a clue, I am not a coder, just a user trying to understand how things working under the hood. :roll:
