In what context do the commata (or commas or what's the correct
plural of comma in English?) appear instead of dots? If you have
a look at the man page for setlocale() you'll see that there
several other categories you could set beside LC_NUMERIC (which
I set exclusively because I don't care about the rest). Perhaps
you get better results when you use instead

setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" );

That should take care of all categories and hopefully get rid of
your problem.
