Hi,
that's just one of the differencies betwen 'German'-german and 'Swiss'-
german. In Germani ',' is used as decimal point, wher '.' is used in 
Switzerland. An other one is, when in Germany they use '�', in Switzerland 
we use 'ss'. For some words that is changed in Germany due to the 'neue 
Rechtschreibung'.
greetings from Switzerland
Walter
