I believe that this depends on your Locale setting.Freemarker can format numbers in different ways, and to me it helped to read <a href="http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/ref_builtins_number.html">Freemarker builtins for numers</a>. Since then, I had a better understanding of Freemarker. At least I know what could be the problem

So I believe you should change the locale on your installation to get the default separator to be a dot. Hope that'll at least get you on the right direction.

Thanks zladuric

I can put the line

<#setting locale="en_US">‍

at the begining of every script (*.FTL) to force this locale and get the so much desired decimal delimiter/separator

But I still have the doubt on where is this setting sepecified by default
