[Bug localedata/422] Comma should be decimal point for Turkish (tr_TR) locale


------- Additional Comments From baris at teamforce dot name dot tr  2004-10-29 23:12 -------
I would like to give referance for that change from Turkish Language Foundation,
but their related page is under construction:
http://tdk.org.tr/imla/

However a quick search with Google landed me on that site which describe usage
of coma (that's virgul in Turkish):
http://www.dilimiz.gen.tr/dilbilgisi/noktalama/virgul.html

On t section of that page it indicates that , virgul is used to sepearate
decimal section. 

Btw, we had a discussion about that w/ Nilgun Belma Buguner over that subject at
other mailing list. And her opinion was to keep it like that, since on
LC_MONETARY decimal point is comma, and having 'dot' for numbers give people a
'diversity'. That's ridicilous because the usage of 'dot' like that is totally
wrong. However it seems like she was at last satisfied w/ the change. I hope she
didn't change her mind, else i have to wait Turkish Language Organization
Official Page to give information again to prove it.
