@tkleiber reported to em that, when running client on machines using different language, date&number format, they run into issues. Client seems to ignore local machine settings and this leads to their code running into some issues.

I hope to get more details on the type of issues they face and reasons for that.
It would be good to investigate the effort needed for the client to use local-machine language, date&number settings either from system (most preferable) or from NLS env parameters (if set).
