0000784: MEGAX is not working properly with locale decimals for ClustalW
I'm using MEGAX on my Windows 10 Spanish installation. My colleague is also having this problem on Ubuntu 16.04 Spanish installation. When trying to do the aligment with Clustal", the window for configuring the parameters do not allow to use "," for decimals. Thus, we change all decimals to ".", and we can finally click ok to proceed. But, the following error arises:

"Oh no! An error has ocurred: "15.00" is an invalid float"

I guess the locales are messed up, the configuration window requires to use English decimals, but the underlying algorithms require local decimals (in our case, Spanish).
- Have an operating system installed in Spanish
- Load a fasta file
- Align with ClustalW
- Click ok -> errors ocurred, do not allow to use "," for decimals
- Change with dots "."
- Click ok -> "Oh no! An error has ocurred: "15.00" is an invalid float"
No tags attached.
