            Bug ID: 133805
           Summary: default csv separator location specific
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rupert.thurner at gmail.com

in many european countries the decimal separater is a comma, not a dot.
therefor the default CVS separator character is a semicolon. it can be set in
libreoffice calc in a quite hidden way, described e.g. here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/201076/csv-default-separator/

Tools -> Options - LibreOffice -> Advanced - Button: Open Expert Configuration
and search for FieldSeparator 

it would be nice if LC_NUMERIC or LC_MONETARY is something non english to use
semicolon as default.

second advantage is that this then would be more compatible with microsoft
excel, and also be more compatible with public upload APIs in europe.
