I'm trying to change the decimal separator from `.` to `,` on a gauge or text.

I'm using Google Chrome as browser and the default locale is set to `fr-FR`.

I've already tried

- Default `{{msg.payload | number:1 }}`

- `{{msg.payload | number:1:fr }}` and `{{msg.payload | number:1:fr-FR }}`— see Angular documentation [DecimalPipe](https://angular.io/api/common/DecimalPipe#decimalpipe)

- `{{msg.payload | number:1| replace:'.':',' }}` — see [Angular Pipe Replace character](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56062798/angular-pipe-replace-character)

to no avail.

I've also explored

- [I18n / localization of UI / change locale for angular filters (currency, number, ...)](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/i18n-localization-of-ui-change-locale-for-angular-filters-currency-number/2236)

this time successfully, although only after having installed `sudo npm install -g @angular/localize`.

However, `number:1:en-US` has no effect, _ie._ the decimal separator is `,` while it should be `.`. So the locale format seems to be hard-coded.

And the file `~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-dashboard/dist/i18n.js` says prominently

> Placeholder only - This is NOT a sustainable solution to i18n localisation

Is there a better solution available? Thank you!
