Hi,

Same in Germany. Don't know about the other german speaking countries.
Every operating system I know has a mapping "Location <--> some settings" where "some settings" is language, decimal seperator, thousands seperator, date format, input encoding :) (keyboard) ...
So imo this won't be a bad idea to integrate into ConTeXt.
and this is very system dependent. Integrating would be hard. Besides, I never use the standard dutch settings, since they are confusing: comma as the decimal separator, a period for the thousands. I usually do not separate the thousands at all (or with a thin space) and use comma or period for the decimals.
