------------------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: Thanks for trying that there, that makes things a lot clearer!  I'm wondering if this is some system setting interacting with arrow; just to check; when you run {{readr::read_csv2}} to read that file in, how does it look?)

>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: R
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.1

> In the R arrow package read_delim_arrow lacks the option to specify the decimal marker (e.g. comma or point) in the parsing options.
> This is a major inconvenience for data with a _point_ as a decimal marker (european users) since the data is read in as astring which requires post-hoc conversion of the string to double. 
>  
> Request: Add a parsing option to set the decimal marker if that is possible.
