If you use Windows, try to change the regional setting :  
Setting\>ControlPanel\>Regional Settings\>   
there you find the numeric setting for your computer. for decimal use '.' (point) instead of ',' (comma), etc.

hope this helps.

The Finnish localization also uses comma as decimal separator, but I have not had any troubles like that.

I have had troubles with key-bindings though... I can't bind anything to the \<\>-keys for example, because the key binding works by dragging commands to the US keyboard in XSI, not actually pressing the keys. I'd like some way to fix this...
