here is a script to get the decimal separator:

    do "get item 2 of (1.1 as string)" as appleScript
    put the result into theDecimalSeparator
    replace quote with empty in theDecimalSeparator

Hi Klaus
This is what I get from pasting your code

The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, NSThousandsSeparator) does not exist

I get the same thing. I think that means the user has not set a separator in the system prefs yet, so there is no specific character identified. Probably the script could assume the generic default separator, a comma, is in use.

I changed the settings to those typical of Germany, but I still get the "does not exist message". Is it possible to get the thousand separator, currency symbol and decimal symbol?
