You can use a \f[C]decimal-mark\f[R] directive - usually one per file,
at the top of the file - to declare which character represents a decimal
mark when parsing amounts in this file.
It can look like

.nf
\f[C]
decimal-mark .
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
or
.IP
.nf
\f[C]

This prevents any ambiguity when parsing numbers in the file, so we
recommend it, especially if the file contains digit group marks (eg
thousands separators).
