Understood. I have taken over the ticket and raised an internal request for a functional enhancement. Apologies for the delay -- the previous assignee left the company and we missed re-assigning this item.
@IBM We are aware of the diferent languages. But as our language (Dutch) is not available we are using English what is general as an international company.
FYI these are the current languages supported in Envizi and the configuration of thousands and decimal separators for those languages. Please note that you can change your language by going to the personal settings area (top right corner of the screen).
@Yas Karunatilake can you drive this one forward in Eugene's absence?

The visual difference between a comma and a period is also very small in the font used in the tool, which makes it extra confusing.
Displaying 3 decimal digits (even though there are only 2) also makes it extra confusing. Please make rapid progress on this, as it is the cause of a huge number of errors on our end.
Is there some progress on this idea? We realy need this.
As we are an EU-based company, the US comma is confusing.
I'd like to have the EU comma system. If tied to the language as the previous comment seems to relate, the English language should be split with "EN-UK" and "EN-US".
Thank you.
To be considered in future releases relating to localization support. Most likely to be introduced as a new feature to allow selection of decimal separator regardless of user language settings.
Currently comma vs. period as decimal separator is tied to the language selected (eg. if french is selected as the user's language the separator changes to comma instead of period).
I think this enhancement request should be modified to specifically ask for the language and the comma/period as decimal separator formatting to be separate settings so that user with their language set to English can still view numeric values with a comma as the decimal separator.
