Is there a way in Golang to get the current OS decimal separator in windows?
I know that in the Geographic area settings in control panel you can assign your custom decimal separator, so there must be a way to get this value... or no?
I want to use fmt.Printf() and format any float with the OS current decimal symbol.

To get the current language OS, you might use a cross platform package such as https://github.com/cloudfoundry-attic/jibber_jabber
To print localized texts you might use the text package available here https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/text
Example
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/cloudfoundry/jibber_jabber"
"golang.org/x/text/language"
"golang.org/x/text/message"
)
func main() {
userLanguage, err := jibber_jabber.DetectLanguage()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Language:", userLanguage)
tagLanguage := language.Make(userLanguage)
fmt.Println("Language:", tagLanguage)
{
p := message.NewPrinter(language.BritishEnglish)
p.Printf("There are %v flowers in our garden.
", 1500)
}
{
p := message.NewPrinter(tagLanguage)
p.Printf("There are %v flowers in our garden.
", 1500)
}
}
As you can see you don t directly use the fmt
package anymore, instead you have to create a Printer
and use this one to display the texts appropriately.

I have not been able to determine how to extract this information from the text package.
