Re: [Gretl-devel] some bugs and issues

Since I am one in favor of localization in the most extent possible, here is my contribute (not the first time, we talk about this). Leaving the GUI aside (considering that solved), I think that we could have a directive (or environmental variable setting) that a script author would add in the script. The omission of that setting would go for EN (as it is now). But to guarantee that the setting defined by the script's author is kept in the script, the setting would be explicit. For example, jut to see the idea: #define decimal_dot_thousands_comma #define decimal_comma_thousands_dot set number_style(',' , '.') --- I also say that this setting is independent from the position in the script where it's invoked. This allows to use it in the command line, meaning that all numbers processed from that point, would use the defined form. We can expect some performance degradation if the user decides to have all input to be processed before being used in calculations when having a setting other than default. --- If a solution of this kind is implemented, I would not mind to "translate" the example scripts. I can also make a utility program to translate those numbers styles inside scripts. Helio Guilherme
