Then take a calculator and you will see why I changed the numbers.
Whoever wrote the docu trusted the kspread math which was wrong.

So you would have liked it more that we ship a kspread that can not
understand localized numbers but puts less load on the translation ?

No. Look in the method or find out who added it, write docu
and commit it.

If you think that bashing on me makes it easier for you then
go ahead. I can pretty good ignore it.

However, this is an open source project. And if you think that
I ship an application from which I know that it is buggy in
the math engine just because someone from caldera set a time
schedule then you are wrong. I am sorry for the extra load
on the translators. But I had no time before to make these fixes
before and nobody else did them.

Bye
