After fiddling around with some local text i came across something
odd. Is it true that the "val" function does not care for person

Yes.
Trying to validate "1,2" (notice the comma - danish decimal separtor
style) with val resulted in returning code = 2, i.e. that comma is
the problem. Stepping through the code, it seem that in
"fpc_Val_Real_ShortStr" the decimal separator is hardcoded to ".".
Is this a bug or is this just the way "val" is intended to work?
It is the way val is intended to work. Use http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/floattostr.html
instead if you want to make use of the locale settings (do not
forget to use the "clocale" unit in your program if you are on a Unix
platform to initialise the locale settings, or manually specify a
TFormatSettings parameter to floattostr).
