I tried to do a simple calculation, like for example 55*0,7 and instead of showing the result (which is 38,5) the app is showing [0 7].

Fix: Correctly handle locale-specific decimal separators
Related: bug 507525, bug 501190

Fixes a bug where locales that use a comma for decimals, like de_DE, would break calculations. The comma wasn't being converted to a period for the math engine, leading to it being misinterpreted and causing weird results. This now handles the conversion before and after the calculation.
