Can you test this function:
(defun org-table--comma-as-decimal-sep ()
"Return nil or 2 if separator is dot or comma respectively."
(string-search "," (format "%f" 10)))
To test I am using:
$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 emacs -Q
But I am getting this as warning:
(process:1787): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:40:49.375: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
