Yeah, I feel your pain, I’m Swedish living in Hong Kong, I don’t want my webpages or programs translated in either Swedish or Chinese, give me English please! And as for the float parsing part, I have had to fix many bugs through the years where floating point numbers were stringified on a Swedish computer and then read back into float on an English computer, or vise versa. And sometimes a mix of the two where human input is involved. Easy to fix, but still a common problem.
