Translated decimal field does not convert dot to comma

KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

The translated decimal field does not convert dot to comma as expected for any language using a comma for a decimal separator in both Eureka and Fuji.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to System Properties > System Localization.

  2. Change the currency setting to CAD and the default localization code to fr.CA for French Canadian.

  3. Add a decimal field to any form.

  4. Type 11.22 into the field.

    Note that when you leave the field, the number changes to 1 222 instead of 11,22 which would be the correct translation.

Workaround

This result is expected behavior for decimal number fields: Invalid separators get removed rather than converted. For example, if your language is French Canadian then the decimal separator is the comma and therefore all non-comma characters are ignored: "11a22" and "11.22" would both be changed to "1222".
