How to type floating point numbers in Apple Numbers in Persian? When I want to insert a floating number in Apple Numbers 3.6.1 in OS X 10.10.5 while my primary preferred language in Language &amp; Region is Persian(فارسی), the number is interpreted as a string value.



In these screenshots the right cell has the formula of B2 ÷ 2 while B2 is the left cell. I typed ۱.۲۳ (that is 1.23 in Persian) in B2 with Persian keyboard layout and an error is occurred.



The result is the same when i type the number with English keyboard layout.



How can i enter a floating point number?
Note that in Persian language the floating point sign is represented with ,. So the problem can be solved by entering the number as ۱,۲۳ or 1,23.

In the first form when you want to enter the floating point sign, switch the keyboard layout to English then insert ‍, and then switch it back to Persian and insert the remaining fraction part.
