Chris,

Thank you for your comment, I will test this the next time.

The problem, however, is a little more complex. Today (and this is, why
I got here, finally), I got a cvs-file. Normally, I use Gnumeric, if I
have the dot/comma problem, but Gnumeric can not read cvs-files,
therefore I depended on Calc. cvs-files do not have a language setting
and when I read it, I had a huge file full of dates.

My proposal here would be to alert the user, that there are dots, which
will turn into dates.

Or, in general, add an option field to ask the user, what seperator he
wants. Because, even if they write german documents, many users use the
dot, because it is in the numeric section of the keyboard and it is
easier to use.

But I will look at the language setting...
