You need to set the DecimalSeparator character (to ',' in your case) , and format your floats with floattostr or one of the other formatting routines in sysutils. The system unit routines always use '.' as a decimal separator. If you don't want to use the sysutils routines, use Str() to convert to a string, and replace the dot with a comma in the resulting string.
