Hi,

According to the documentation on glib [1], g_strtod() uses the locale
and also uses g_ascii_strtod() if the whole string was not parsed. So I
think that we are safe here :)

For writing in a file, then I think that it will be better to use the C
locale - and a "." as a decimal separator. I'm not sure in fact...
