the right side-number-section shows a comma(,) instead of a point(.) although in checked that the right language(german) and country(switzerland) is set. maybe it must be swiss-germain. i guess i did not find. i will retry.

I don't quite understand the question, but I'll give it a try....

To my knowledge, European decimal notation uses a comma "," as the decimal delimiter and a period "." as the thousands separator.

If it is a European keyboard, it should have a comma "," instead of a period "." on the number pad. And it should show up as such in your operating system if language and region are set as European (i.e. Germany, Switzerland, etc.)

I Hope this helps and didn't just tell you a bunch of stuff you already know :)

yes i know-this is always the first look onto the keyboard. checking the first six letters below the numbers-line.

ok, we have switzerland-german and french. and italian of course.
if set right. the point(.) on right side of keyboard(the one above del(delete) in the number-section. will show as point. but in my customers system its a comma(,) which is wrong. maybe i have overseen the right settings. maybe i must change to another wrong setting, restart,change back and restart.

you must reset AND your country AND your keyboard to the wanted needs... Some countries have more than one language, and so different settings.. for example, Belgium has 3 languages: Dutch, French and German (a bit). So the settings differ from countryside to countryside...
