--- Comment #10 from Domas Jokubauskis <dom...@gmail.com> ---
The decimal point is dependant on locale not the language. Here in Lithuania we
use "," for decimal point and "." for thousands separation. The problem with
decimal points in CSV files arises when the CSV file is created using a
computer on one locale and opened in a computer with another locale. 

Using LibreOffice 4.1.2.3 from Debian Testing I created example file
"decimal_test.ods" that was saved as "decimal_test_en_GB.csv" in "en_GB.UTF-8"
and as "decimal_test_lt_LT.csv" in "lt_LT.UTF8" locale (field separator is
";"). When "decimal_test_lt_LT.csv" is opened in "en_GB.UTF-8" locale the
numbers with decimal points are imported as text and cannot be used in
calculations without editing.

Please see attachment "CSV import dialog in QtiPlot that includes decimal point
selection" for an example implementation of the decimal point character
selection.
