Use of period in numbers for European languages #708

Description

@MartheGjelstad

In most European languages, comma is the correct decimal separator. However, sometimes people still use a period.

An example: For both Greek and Norwegian, the number <mn>5.0</mn> is read as "50". It would be better to have it read as "5 dot 0".

Would it be possible to change the rules, such that for languages using

  • comma as the decimal separator
  • space as the thousand separator (and not period)

a number with a period would be read literal? Like "5 dot 0".
