CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello,

I am using your CrossOver software to be able to use Sigmaplot 11.0 on my mac. First it does work very well, easy and straight forward, I love it. I just have a little setting issue that is however annoying for my work. The decimal separator is coma (every number looks like 324,21) and I really need a point as separator to respect publication format (meaning 324.21). If I were on windows I would have been supposed to change the windows regional settings, but I am not sure how to achieve this change in CrossOver.

Thank you for your help.

Locale settings are usually inherited from the host OS but there is a trick to change locales / bottle:
How can I set apps in Crossover to use a different language than the OS?

If just changing the LANG variable does not fix things then there are a few more that can influence the settings you want changed:

What does “LC_ALL=C” do?

The ones that caught my eye are:

LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
LC_MONETARY
LC_PAPER

or just use LC_ALL and set it to the proper locale (see first link). I've not played much with this...

What I would do:

1. Bring up a terminal.
2. Type: "locale" to see what OSX is currently set to.
   Example:
   LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_ALL=
3. Find the available Locale's for your version of Linux/OSX with "locale -a"
   I usually just stick with UTF-8 ones, as they seem to work for me.
4. Change your Bottle's locale by editing cxbottle.conf.
   Example:
   [EnvironmentVariables]
   ;;"PROMPT" = "$p$g"
   LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

For some reason, if I add the quotes it doesn't work but not a big deal.
