--- Comment #6 from Eddie D <eddielikeslibreoff...@galaxy.za.net> ---
Libre Office seems to IGNORE the default installed locale settings regarding
decimal point is a ".". The resolved "wontfix" status of this ticket does not
seem to address this issue.  I've been living in South Africa for 53 years and
I can promise you we ALWAYS use dot as a decimal point. The WIKIpedia entry is
based on an old huge-ly outdated lie. 

on a fresh KDE Neon 5.27 install:

at  /etc/default/locale
LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_ZA.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_ZA.UTF-8

In /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_ZA
% Country name in English
country_name  "South Africa"

% ISO 4217 Currency and fund codes
%
http://www.bsi-global.com/Technical+Information/Publications/_Publications/tig90.xalter
int_curr_symbol         "ZAR "
currency_symbol         "R"
mon_decimal_point       "."
mon_thousands_sep       ","
mon_grouping            3;3

LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point           "."
thousands_sep           ","
grouping                3;3
END LC_NUMERIC

Please if you cannot fix it, at least give an option to specify decimal point
as a dot via a checkbox somewhere.

Hope you can help.
