Hi Tom, other programs respect my locale setting. For example the OOo that comes with Mandriva is in German and uses the German locale setting, the same is true for the "vanilla" version of OOo. It is just LibO, where I am not able to change to the German UI and the German locale.

What I do know, is, depending on your locale, the settings for exporting or importing a csv file might differ. (I guess, that's the reason, why OOo/LibO gives you a dialog where you can specify what the delimiter for the values in those files is). But besides this, I don't know of any other formatting case.
