Description
Steps to reproduce
- Choose "Deutsch" as language in settings
- Insert a column as number field (Zahl-Feld)
- Use any amount of decimals >0 (Dezimalstellen)
- Insert a colum with a random value 1.234 (1,234)
Expected behavior
Value should use correct decimal separator according to selected language.
Actual behavior
Always a point is used as decimal separator. Unfortunatelly point is used as thousands separator in german language, which leads to confusion for unexperienced users.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Tables app with Deutsch selected, a number column allowing decimals, and a value such as 1.234. Trace the number-field display or formatting entry point used by that column. Done means decimal values use the selected locale's separator without confusing thousands formatting.
