But even so, there is totally no provision in the image to magically change for example date formatting or parsing based on (one global default) locale, let alone the decimal or thousands separators. One could even argue whether that would be a good idea or not.
The alternative would be for you to use the appropriate formatters/parsers where you produce/consume user visible text. There are certainly provisions for doing that, as well as several external frameworks that can help.
