--- Comment #7 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- Generally here's a mix of different concepts. What OP seems to ask for is an option to define what character is used as decimal separator *when entering numbers* (based on "Libre Office only accepts ,", with "accepts" suggesting that input is being discussed). However, the same comment 0 mentions "documents decimal point", looking as if output is being discussed ("document decimal point" likely means how numbers are displayed/printed in documents?). The two different concepts (decimal separator on input vs output) should be recognized. The reasonable idea is that user *uses one single decimal separator* whenever typing numbers, and that separator is usually linked to user's locale; however, user might want to show the numbers differently based on which language the selection is marked with. Both concepts are implemented in LibreOffice, rather consistently; when you define text/cell's locale/language, the display of numbers changes accordingly; input is recognized according to program's locale, and is independent of current text language. What is missing is user-defined separator for input (either as LibreOffice setting, or coming from OS - as tracked in tdf#46448). But that is not a big problem itself, since usually user is able to select program's locale fitting own preference. Comment 5 mentions that "override for the decimal separator there is mostly useless and needs to be fixed" - an I *suppose* that it means "Decimal separator key" setting [1]; and that option works fine, doing just what it is created for, and does not need fixing. It might be useless for some (in case when decimal separator key on numpad produces the same character as the decimal separator configured on LO locale), but it is *not* related to the separator used for input recognition in any way. Generally what I feel is missing is good, user-friendly *explanation* of all that.
