Dot to Comma

sjefen · October 29, 2007, 05:39:36 PM

If I'm going to type in numbers in Terragen it want's me to use dot. For example: 0.5
Is it possible to change this so I can use comma instead? Like for example: 0,5

You could just start typing it the real way

I don't understand. What do you mean?

Sorry, I was just making a joke about how we Americans think that writing it with a dot is the real way.

At least I am not the only silly person here ,-)

Sjefen: For this you can change the layout of your keyboard. Your ',' on the numpad turns to '.'

old_blaggard: Haha.... Don't be sorry. I'm just a little slow on some jokes

Volker Harun: I'll guess that will affect everything. I just want Terragen 2 to accept comma. I remember this was possible in 3ds max.

Am I Missing something

as far as I am concerned 0.5 and 0,5 are not the same and are definately not interchangable no matter how you write them.

0.5 IS Zero point 5 (Haslf of 1).

0,5 IS two seperate numbers: A zero followed by a 5.

In Europe, decimal points are written as commas, while ordered pairs (and other sets of numbers) are centered by semicolons (not sure about those semicolons: it's been awhile... correct me if I'm wrong).

You can use comma or semicolon; but be sure to put a blank in front of the following number: 0, 5, 10, 20 ...

Hi Sjefen,

Right now TG2 only really supports English and non-accented characters, sorry. I've been thinking a lot about making it more friendly to other languages lately, it is something we are concerned about. We will have to see if it's something we can fit in before release.

Regards,

Jo

Why, what do you mean by that? I live in New Zealand, we speak the English of the Mother Country/Pongolia/Ol' Blighty, the Queen's English, or something close approaching it anyway. The colour of our cheques is often grey.

Hi,

And I should add, Matt is British, of course. You will notice that we use English spellings rather than American English in TG2.

Regards,

Linguistically specking it is important to not that while Australia, Belize, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, US, Zimbabwe all are speakers of the English language that there are differences in the way English is spoken and in the way certain words are spelled etc, by way of an example of software internationalization I be leave that the same is true with Arabic as well (Please Accept Ten Thousand pardons if I am Incorrect on this, not disrespect intended to speakers of that language).

Regards to you.
