In my project I have several temp values in the form of 31.72 C They are stored as string and I convert them with Val(sValue)
My project is translatable, default language is en_US.UTF-8 If I change System.Language, Val doesn't know how to convert the value correctly (or it does it correctly, but I have to change my code) Anyone had this problem and knows how to prevent the system from leaving out point or comma's or the complete value? Example project with output: ' Gambas module file PUBLIC SUB Main() DIM sValue AS String = "31,72" PRINT "Original Value -> " & sValue PRINT System.Language & " -> "; PRINT Val(sValue) System.Language = "nl_NL.UTF-8" PRINT System.Language & " -> "; PRINT Val(sValue) System.Language = "de_DE.UTF-8" PRINT System.Language & " -> "; PRINT Val(sValue) sValue = "31.72" PRINT "\nOriginal Value -> " & sValue PRINT System.Language & " -> "; PRINT Val(sValue) System.Language = "nl_NL.UTF-8" PRINT System.Language & " -> "; PRINT Val(sValue) System.Language = "de_DE.UTF-8" PRINT System.Language & " -> "; PRINT Val(sValue) END OUTPUT IS: Original Value -> 31,72 en_US.UTF-8 -> 3172 nl_NL.UTF-8 -> 31,72 de_DE.UTF-8 -> 31,72 Original Value -> 31.72 de_DE.UTF-8 -> 3172 nl_NL.UTF-8 -> de_DE.UTF-8 -> 3172 So if I store it with . or , it's false interpreted by at least one of the languages... I do not have the same values, I also store energy usage and other values in the form of 41.322 Watts, so the decimal point is not always at 2 I remember this type of discussion regarding currency, how was it solved? Please any input is welcome.
