French comma bug

Hi, I have an app setting that is lat long entry in GCM / connect IQ. One of my users has his phone setup as French, and in GCM it appears to only allow a comma entry instead of decimal place on an app setting. and it moves the comma to a different position once saved this corrupts my float, which then includes a comma and makes lat long unusable.

Can you please fix this so normal entry is possible ? He cannot even select decimal place.

So you use string input, and then .to float

If the string input is input with a comma or negative signs, does the to float still work ?

not comma, only dot, string has to be in form described in toFloat() as

https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Lang/String.html#toFloat-instance_function

var myString;
var myNum;

myString = "123";
myNum = myString.toFloat(); // myNum is 123.000000

myString = "3.14"
myNum = myString.toFloat(); // myNum is 3.140000

myString = "192.168.0.1"
myNum = myString.toFloat(); // myNum is 192.167999

myString = "Hello There!"
myNum = myString.toFloat(); // null
