--- Comment #7 from Andreas Säger <[email protected]> ---
All you need to do in order to reproduce the issue with the given data from
http://twolf.hermitstore.com/wolf.gz/ver001/yield.html is:
Set your global locale to some locale with decimal comma (German, Russian,
French).
Then link to external data, specify that you want to use a decimal point locale
(English, Chinese) and do the import. The specified locale does not override
the global locale. It has no effect at all.
This happens regardless of the data access method with the given URL or its
downloaded html.

Demonstrating the expected functionality with csv or clipboard content like
this:
<snip>
2/3/2013;3.146
9/8/2013;3,146
</snip>
Paste-special unformatted text with semicolon as column separator and "Special
Numbers" option checked. Depending on the chosen import locale, the 4 numerals
evaluate to different values (3rd of February or 2nd of March, 8th of September
or 9th of August, 3146 or Pi or text).

This functionality is dead in the html import (Insert>Link to External...).
