What should I do to make the program equally understand the separator "dot" and "comma"?

I wrote a simple application with one input field. If I enter in the input box 1.0 (through dot) everything works. If I enter 1,0 (through comma), it gives an error (Syntax error in expression). Is it possible to somehow force the application to correctly read a number written with a comma?

Andrey,

you can use a string input, parse the string and put together the numerical value and then assign it to the numerical quantity you need. Requires some coding but should be doable, if it is worth the effort.
