Multiple tests failure due to system localization

Multiple tests are failing when the default symbol for decimals is not .

Issue happened on my Windows machine, having my localization set as French (Canada) where the decimal symbol is ,. Simply switching my localization to English (US) solved the issue, but I think it should atleast be documented somewhere.

Thanks

Hi Rémi—thanks for reporting this. Do you recall an example of one of the failing tests, so we can look back at it and understand what's causing it? Perhaps a .params file that specifies a double parameter with decimals?
