[Bug]: changing GUI language changes also decimal separator

Operating system

What happened?

Changing the GUI language changes also the decimal separator. I would like to use English language but I need to use Italian decimal separator. If I choose Italian language a number converted to text appears like 10000,23. If I change the language to English, the same number becomes 1000023.0. I have a very simple pipeline to test this but i didn't find a way to attach it here. I think GUI language should be independent from international settings.

Decimal and grouping separators can be specified in most transforms for this specific reason. Was there a particular place you were missing these options when data conversion is concerned?

[liosc]

The biggest problem we have with this issue is related to hash generation. Changing decimal and grouping separator produces a different hash so we are forced to use always the same language. By the way, it doesn't seem logical to me that when you change the language the decimal and grouping separator change too. As I added in the description, I think GUI language should be independent from international settings.

@mattcasters I agree with @liosc. Same as in every operating system were these two aspects are managed separately
