In a pattern, a dot is always the decimal separator and a comma always represents the thousands separator. When you render a number using the pattern, those separators might appear differently depending on the locale (e.g. the decimal separator being a comma and the thousands separator being a dot).
As Rob said, the default locale is not the "locale used by default", it's the locale called 'default' (Java would call it the ROOT<http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html#ROOT>locale, and many systems call it 'C'; it is *not* 'en' though, even though it looks a lot like it). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
