Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13803
It isn't possible to change default decimal symbol or digit grouping symbol chars

Hi, Our company is one of the important financial goverment corporation and we've got more than 500 windows machines that are using different versions of OpenOffice(1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3) since OpenOffice 641C . In Windows 2000(SP3) users can change decimal symbol or digit grouping symbols to format their numbers. We are using English edition of Windows 2000 with Turkish locale settings and default language settings for the system is "Turkish". (Default decimal symbol is "," and default digit grouping symbol ".") If we use these default setting with OpenOffice there is no problem. But when we change these symbol chars from Control Panel OpenOffice doesn't react according to new settings. For example if I change decimal symbol from "," to "." and digit grouping symbol from "." to "," OOo doesn't handle these new settings. It expects "," for a decimal number although I changed the system decimal symbol. We solve these problem by changing "Language Setting" from OpenOffice. But in that case we cannot sort Turkish chars correctly. Ms Excel takes these symbols directly from the system settings, if you change these symbolsform control panel, excel automaticly handles them. Thanks a lot.
Hi Bettina, please have a look at this
