Ok, I found the issue 30568 page and read all the notes on the page and
followed up on all the links listed. I see that the status of the issue is
listed as closed/fixed. What is not clear however is what decision was
actually taken. I can't see that the problem has been fixed at all !! The
format cells dialog has a check box to use the windows regional decimal and
thousands separator settings but it just doesn't do that and neither will
it let me set Calc up in the correct manner by using user defined formats.
where to now...back to OOo 1.1.4 !! ??
I'm not sure which check box you're referring to. OOo doesn't read
individual regional settings. Maybe this will be added later, but that
would be a larger effort, so don't expect it very soon.
We are trying to make sure that our locale data are correct for each
locale, and the cited sources in issue 30568 seem to indicate that the
decimal separator for English (South Africa) should be ".". So the fix
for that issue was just what you're observing: The decimal separator is
"." now.
To format cells with a different decimal separator, the best way is to
select a locale for the number format that has the desired separator.
