 Yes -- the numbers won't be shown to the users using the correct decimal
separator. The UI should really use the users locale, you should use the
"C" one for internal manipulations only. As I wrote, the simplest way to do
it is to use C++ standard streams which have their own (by default "C")
locale, setlocale() is not the right tool here as it changes the locale
globally.
