I looked into this: the problem is that you can customize the group
separator (thousands) and/or omit it completely but you cannot customize
the decimal point without changing the whole locale (the locale also
defines currency and other settings that are not currently used by QGIS).

So, the best solution here would probably be:

- allow the user to override system locale as a whole (same widget that we
have for the translations)
- add an option to omit the group separator

This way you could set QGIS to have the decimal point from your locale or
from any other locale and you could set it to omit the group separator, but
you would not be able to choose a group separator different from the locale
you selected.

How does it sound?
