Oct 22, 2020 at 19:49 comment added GenericAccountName @SjoerdSmit I had the exact same reaction to these comments, except I only speak English so I would have never even thought of it :) I should add support for ; in the native CSV importer because of this.
Oct 22, 2020 at 18:07 comment added Sjoerd Smit @AlbertRetey Because of course... Yeah, I should've know that one. Dutch also uses commas as decimal separators, I just never used CSV on a Dutch computer (since I always set everything to English.). I just thought that something a ubiquitous as CSV would have a common international standard. Of course that would be too much to ask for...
Oct 22, 2020 at 16:45 comment added Albert Retey @SjoerdSmit: in principle I agree with your comment, but I know that it is common standard on at least German computers that .csv files use ";" as a separator because the German standard for NumberPoint is ",". For example if you save as csv from Excel on a German computer, it will use ";" as separator and most other spreadsheet apps do that as well.

Oct 22, 2020 at 10:32 comment added Sjoerd Smit As a general practice, I don't think it's a good idea to name a file .csv when it doesn't have comma separators.
