+ // Forcing the locale of the application is necessary
+ // because QT initialization changes it to the locale
+ // of the language of the system. This can cause
+ // inconsistencies when, e.g., reading float values
+ // from DICOM fields with gdcm, since the decimal
+ // point may be changed for a comma (as in French).
+ // In practice, functions such as scanf and its
+ // variations are directly affected.
