A pragma taking care for this could help, but, for me I have written my

Decimalseperator is only a variable in the System-unit (I believe),
changing it does not take much of the performance.
function Float2Str(f:Float):string
var
olddec: char;
begin
olddec := decimalseperator;
decimalseperator := '.';
Result := FloatToStr(f);
decimalseperator := olddec;
end;
