Hello,

In application preferences of servoy, in the Number Format input, It was very usefull to put 2 Format differents:

#.## and #,##

In France, we use 2 Formats.

If I define a textfield bind to a number data.

In application preferences of servoy, in the Number Format input, I put #.##

If I type in the textfield ‘1,25’ , Servoy return 1.

In France, we use #.## and #,## for the same utilisation.  
contrary to England for example, who use #.## to define a decimal number and #,## to seperate units’s number.

So in France, ‘1,25’ = ‘1.25’

I hope this explication will be more usefull, my english is very poor ![:roll:]( "Rolling Eyes")
