Package: scilab
Version: 5.3.3-10
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Hi,
I'm french and my locales are curently :
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr
LC_*=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
When I start scilab with these locales parameters, I read the warning
below : (process:24188): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C libr
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
This warning disappears if I export the LC_ALL variable with
'fr_FR.UTF-8' and the errors messages in Scilab become in french
(cool !).
The problem is with the functions "fscanfMat" and "fprintfMat", which
are supposed to import or export a matrix of floatting numbers. In
Scilab, the decimal separator is the point ( . ) ; but with
LC_ALL='fr_FR.UTF-8', the decimal separators in exported and imported
text files becomes a comma (,), when Scilab's "internal" decimal
separators is still the point...
To summarize : it's impossible to import/export matrix of floatting
numbers with fscanfMat/fprintfMat functions when LC_ALL='fr_FR.UTF-8'
because of the difference between the internal decimal separators of
Scilab and the decimal separator used in text files.
Just to be clear: the system is "coherent", because files exported with
one value of the locale are readable as long as we don't change the
locale value... but it makes exchange of files between peoples who
don't use the same language impossible!
If it isn't perfectly clear or if you need more informations, don't
hesitate to contact with me back.
Best regards,
Eloi

Hello,
The problem you described (11 years ago!) is now fixed, likely it should
