Simplest way to change decimal point is to change it in OS globally
using regional settings in MSW and LC_* in unix. I use polish version of
systems, where separator is comma too and always change it to point
because I am used to it. This way I have decimal point in excel and all
other applications.

I think that German students will do it in similar way so I would not
force it in your application GUI. Forcing it can also cause problems
with copy-paste numbers between applications and data import (i.e. from
csv file).

I would recommend to stick with OS settings and let user to adjust them
as sh/he like.
