             Bug #: 52236
           Summary: CSV import/Export filter option for decimal point
                    character
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: luis.neves at ipleiria.pt


A very useful enhancement to LibreOffice calc would be to have an option to
specify the digital point character. When importing/exporting data from/to
other software packages, namely simulation software, it is often necessary to
execute a cumbersome procedure when our system local uses a different
character, as in the Portuguese case, where we use the comma.

As an example, I usually have to import data as text, then I change all (with
search-replace) the commas to semi-colons, then I change all the dots to commas
and only then I can use the "text-to-columns" option to have the data on a
useful form. 

I think this enhancement would be useful to several other [latin] languages as
well.

Best regards,

Luís Neves
