Decimal/Thousand separator and locale

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

I would like to get some pointers on the below requirement from a customer.

Customer who would like to change the default decimal and thousand separator for locale ar_SA (Arabic (Saudi Arabia)). For ar_SA locale, the default ones are:

Decimal separator = , (comma) and

Grouping separator = ' (inverted comma).

He would like to have:

Decimal separator = . (period) and

Grouping separator = , (comma) same as en_US locale.

I am working on this for a customer who has this requirement in embedded BIP in EnterpriseOne but I can see that the same behavior is observed in BIP desktop (11.1.1.5) as well. So I would like to understand from where these values are picked up based on the locale selected. Is it from regional settings of the machine or hard-coded in some configuration files? Based on this I can check if we can achieve this requirement in embedded BIP in E1.

Howdy, Stranger!
