Is EMA library affected by the OS Regional settings

My question is specifically related to data type Real/Double, where there could be a decimal part.

If the client has Regional settings with Decimal separator switched to "," will this affect the actual decoded values?

Specifically we got some updates that had price fields with comma separator when there was significant decimal part.

UpdateMsgEnd
domain="MarketPrice Domain"
updateTypeNum="1"
seqNum="48512"
name="GOOG.OQ"
serviceId="257"
serviceName="IDN_RDF"
Payload dataType="FieldList"
FieldList
FieldEntry fid="22" name="BID" dataType="Real" value="303,850000"
FieldEntry fid="25" name="ASK" dataType="Real" value="303,910000"
FieldEntry fid="30" name="BIDSIZE" dataType="Real" value="200.0"
FieldEntry fid="31" name="ASKSIZE" dataType="Real" value="200.0"

Could this be due to OS Regional Settings?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Because EMA represents data in binary form, the actual decoded values are not impacted by regional settings.

However, regional settings can change how numeric values appear when they are converted to and displayed as strings.
