Most keyboards also have stagged keys due to the physical limitations of the typewriters ( ). The CSV, Comma Separated Values use semicolons and not commas in french versions. The numpad of all keyboard use a * for multiplication while the official multiplication operand is × or Android calculator use a comma while Windows10 calculator uses a dot. You know what is insane? bépo (the french dvorak layout) also interpret the numpad dot as a dot. Chrome already does it, I wouldn't be surprised if IE behaved the same way. TBH, I think it's a strict improvement to make this "just work" anyway. Looking at Google images, it looks like French azerty keyboards also regularly use "." on the numpad - there's even a win xp soft keyboard screenshot that does it! Considering the reporter is from France, comment #0 seems reasonable to me, even if it might have been overly general if other EU locales don't do this.
I no longer live in the Netherlands, but at least 2.5 years ago, when I did, you would commonly get en-US keyboards on machines you bought. > don't they?
