now that was a funny error. What was going on was that we were calculating the offset in the code, but weren't careful to round to the nearest integer in terms of the number of pixels, which doesn't matter for most browsers when you display the decimal like 5.32. However, when you change languages and it prints out 5,32 the browser thinks its malformed, some backwards european way of writing numbers ;) and so ignores it.
Numbers and dates have been and will bee a big problem for programmers, and still we haven't got an international standard. That's next for the American President? (and let him bring you all the metric system as well).

ok ill accept the metric system if we can agree on using . for the decimal point rather than commas.

Hm - hard to take a . for decimal point. We teach our children to figure out how many numbers we need behind the , to make good calculations, and they make songs about that, so , has to stay! On the other hand it's easy to like the , now, and you surely learn to love it later - (and write hundred thousand like 100 000)

do english pronouce 10,39 .. ten comma three nine... because CLEARLY ten point three nine, sounds much better. i'm sure you are gonna argue for ten and thirty nine hundredths, but that is just so old fashioned.

Ja, vi sier ti komma trettini. -
Ja, we say ten comma thirty nine. (or some says "ti komma ni og tredve" - that is ten comma nine and thirty).
I guess you can keep on using gallon (1 gallon = 4,546 litre, US 3,785 liters) and ounce (1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams) ... and be happy about it ...
In older days we too had these weird measurements like 1 skippund that is as much hay you can carry on you back (around 148 kg), but some says: (http://www.sizes.com/units/skippund.htm)
