In general, the game should either support multiple decimal point formats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator) through some setting menu, or perhaps use whatever the system is using to avoid confusion. Probably the same would have to be done for date format anyway, especially if #19266 will get implemented.
