(Sorry, I haven't really paid attention to the whole thread here and I'm no
locale expert, so what I say may miss the point.)

AFAICS you can use the C library's setlocale(3) function to set the locale
of the Gambas process. If that doesn't work (haven't tested in a long time
and remember I had some problems last time I tried that), you can at least
set the LC_ALL environment variable prior to starting the Gambas project.

As soon as the locale is set, you can use localeconv(3) to get a struct
lconv which, according to locale(7), contains a field `decimal_point' where
you find the decimal separator among lots of other information.

Tobi
