Description mfortini 2002-03-01 12:21:27 UTC 
As you may know, the local decimal separator character is a comma instead
of a dot, and the thousands separator is a dot instead of a comma.
When you import a CVS with gnumeric, it complies with the locale, and
imports numbers written in the international standard as strings.
Setting the locale back to "C" fixes the problem, but then gnumeric speaks
English.
So I suggest either skipping the locale settings for CVS files, or giving
the option of choosing a separator for decimals and/or thousands.

Thanks

Of course we may disagree on the severity of this (from major bug to
enhancement) depending on which locale we are working in and how often
we see csv files from significantly different locales.
