Bram, If the locale is changed in gvim via ":lang" to a locale which uses comma for the decimal separator, then floating point numbers are no longer usable. This only happens with the ":lang $locale" variant, since that sets $LANG before calling gtk_set_locale().
env LANG=C gvim
:lang es_ES.UTF-8
:lang messages C " so errors are in English
:echo ceil(1.2)
E806: using Float as a String
E116: Invalid arguments for function ceil(1.2)
E15: Invalid expression: ceil(1.2)
:echo str2float('1.2')
1,0
:echo str2float('1,2')
1,2
Attached patch fixes the issue by ensuring $LC_NUMERIC is set to C if
the LC_ALL version of :lang is called.
