| The [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translation_langconfig langconfig] file is an important file in a language pack, dealing with all the configuration parameters of that language, including the [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translation_langconfig#decsep.2Ccore_langconfig decimal separator].

| If a language pack uses a comma (,) as a decimal separator, it '''must''' use a semicolon (;) as a [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translation_langconfig#listsep.2Ccore_langconfig list separator], or serious errors might happen.
| |
| | |
| ===Problems with language packs using a decimal comma===
| |
| It is not uncommon for Moodle users with a language pack that has a comma used as a decimal separator to experience problems when using formulas copied from the Moodle English online and built-in documentation.
| |
| | |
| ====Gradebook problems====
| |
| The [[Gradebook]] calculations might use "=average(item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6)" which is easy to understand and use in English, but a teacher with (for example) the international spanish (es) language pack will strugle until he/she realizes that this formula should be changed to "=average(item1; item2; item3; item4; item5; item6)"
| |
| | |
| ==Problem fixing==
| |
| A Moodle adminer who uses a language pack with a decimal comma must check the [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translation_langconfig langconfig file] and make shure that the decsep, listsep and thounsandsep characters are properly set for the language or use the [[Language customization]] to fix his/her server.
