Surely, the correct English-language terminology is "radix point", (and
where the radix is "decimal", this becomes "decimal point").  It is
irrelevant whether the prevailing convention, of the user's locale, is
to represent the radix point by a comma, or a period, we do *not* refer
to a "decimal comma", or a "decimal period", (or a "decimal dot"); the
correct terminology is "decimal point".

This change introduces invalid terminology, and should be reverted.
