Put a comma in stead of a period?

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

)
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.

furriephillips:
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.
