--- Comment #1 from Lars Jødal <la...@sund.ku.dk> ---
Since my original posting I have found a work-around: If I change the
formatting language for the cells, then saving as CSV will save with the
decimal point of that formatting. But I have to do this manually - Calc does
remember which languange I opened the file as.

This could easily be implemented as an enhancement.

Enhancement proposal: When importing/opening Text CSV files, the "language"
setting in the cell formatting should be the language specified during import.
(If no language is specified, this defaults to the default language.)

Consequences: When opening a Text CSV file, the user is already presented with
the Text import dialog box, which gives the possibility of specifying a
language. Users not changing the default language will not experience any
difference.
Users deliberately chaning the language from the default setting will both SEE
and SAVE the data in the same format.
