Hi,

GE using system decimal separator('.' or ',' or ....)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sDecimal

But not system list separator (',' or ';' or ...)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sList

so, generated coordinates tag are unusable because "," everywhere !

<coordinates>
-0,6031686795430176,44,74290553115249,10
-0,4548993500726652,44,74411030656823,10
-0,5611849320318214,44,81570495047038,10
-0,6031686795430176,44,74290553115249,10 </coordinates>

must be:
<coordinates>
-0,6031686795430176;44,74290553115249;10
-0,4548993500726652;44,74411030656823;10
-0,5611849320318214;44,81570495047038;10
-0,6031686795430176;44,74290553115249;10 </coordinates>

Hi, can you try this with Google Earth 5.0 and see if this is still the case? 
The
correct behavior in Google Earth would be to convert decimal separators to 
periods,
as defined in the KML spec.

Seems to be corrected in 6.0.2 version :)
GE now use "." as decimal separator (and "," as list separator)
