Default Decimal translation problem

Someone asked me the following question. Any suggestions?

-------------------
Another problem is in scenarios with figures with a decimal, in English this
is a '.' (point) and in other languages, like dutch, it is a ',' (comma).
When I send a model to someone using the other decimal-seperater, the model
produces lots of errors (because a number becomes text). I think that Excel
should change this automatically. I don't know where to report these 'bugs',
do you? And if so, you probably never get an answer from Redmond.
