Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 > But still, it can be a problem with other, different plugins and themes
 itself that performing calculation of paddings and other style things.

 The `number_format_decimal_point` value from the .po file is only used in
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/number_format_i18n
 number_format_i18n()] function, built to convert numbers to the format
 used by a specific locale. It should be used for output and not for
 calculations.

 Calculations, however, depend on PHP locale, and changing that value does
 not affect it.

 We should educate plugin and theme authors and deal with these issues on a
 case-by-case basis instead of making `number_format_decimal_point` non-
 localizable.
