Please do not forget to mark it for translation ;).
Thanks for the reminder! I'll do that.

I tested this and when in English the coeficients appear with decimal point.

Thanks for testing this, H\'elio. Insofar as I can simulate the
situation Talha describes -- i.e. by setting the LANG and
LC_NUMERIC environnment variables to non-English values on my
computer then running gretl and choosing "English" via the GUI --
I get what you describe ('.' as the decimal character). So I'm
not sure what's going wrong in Talha's case.
