Default Decimal separator for float parsing and printing

Hi,
Here is my pb.
I have an application where user can fill float values into <INPUT>

I have to localize my application according to the user definition, not
according to the browser.
So, in France I need the comma, in England it's the dot.

I know the rought solution consisting in 'replacing" dot by comma or
reverse, but:
- it's not clean
- it raises performance considerations, as I manipulate hudge pack of
numbers (matrix or table).

Is there a way to "force" the localization by default?

Regards

S'il vous plaît ne pensez pas que les abréviations qui peuvent être
d'usage en français seraient satisfaisante en anglais; on ne devrait
jamais introduire les abréviations lors de l'écriture d'une langue avec
laquelle on ne parle pas couramment.

Have you determined whether the necessary substitution will have a
perceptible influence on performance? Firefox 3, 3GHz P4, can convert
"12345,67" to "12345.67" in under 5 us. Very few users can type a
number accurately in less than 200 ms.
