Can you confirm whether this bug happens with the latest development/unstable release?

"Interesting problem. It can not be the importers language settings, but rather the exports settings that matters. MealMaster recipes are exported all over the world, and how does an import program cope with different language settings in the exported recipes?"

It seems like it is often safe to assume that import and export will be the same -- that is, usually Spanish speakers are importing Spanish recipes, English speakers English recipes and so on. That said, obviously there are exceptions (and there are languages for which the decimal and thousands separators differ by location). Gourmet's solution is usually to try both cases -- in many cases, the use is unambiguous and Gourmet can figure out how to do the right thing regardless.

1.111.111 will always be handled correctly 1,234,567 will always be handled correctly 1.234,45 will always be handled correctly 1,234 will be handled differently in different locales.

I've seen other bug reports that appear to center on i18n problems with Windows -- I currently have an English-only windows set up (used just for testing Gourmet) and a bilingual linux set up. I know that these bugs aren't reproduceable on linux... so I guess what's needed is someone to test stuff on Windows with a non-English set-up, ideally who can run from source (so we can try out fixes more quickly).

You game?

I'm running on windows in Danish with "." as thousands delimeter.

Okay, my first theory appears to be wrong -- running this with LANG=es_ES.utf8 (which has a , for a decimal separator and a . for a thousands separator), I import the above file correctly.

I get a proper import here, though I'm noticing Gourmet's somewhat unhelpfully converting 105.5 oz. to 6.59 lb. My guess is that this is i18n related (especially since I see your other bug is related to unicode). What locale are you running in? It's possible Gourmet is getting confused, thinking that . is a thousands delimeter (nonetheless, that wouldn't explain how 0.5 became 50., unless it was actually 0.50(?)
