Description Wolfgang Sourdeau 2002-05-17 04:41:10 UTC 
CSV importing does not work correctly for languages which uses the comma 
as "floating-point". This might be the case with other import filters.

Since the CSV format uses the comma as field separator, the numbers have 
to use the dot as decimal separator. When running Gnumeric under, for 
example, the French locale (LC_ALL=fr_CA.ISO8859-1), those numbers are 
handled as textual data instead of numerical data.
