Hello,

the output of locale in terminal is:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

So it seems that regional settings in "Country or region" are not recognised by system.

I tried to edit /etc/default/locale file where I entered following lines (in order to get Slovak settings):

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sk_SK.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sk_SK.UTF-8"

and the result was that OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet recognised coma as decimal separator (",") and also it typed coma when I pressed decimal separator on keyboard's numpad. But SpeedCrunch did not recognised coma as decimal separator (I had to use dot ".") and also when I pressed decimal separator on keyboard's numpad, the dot showed in SpeedCrunch.
