Hi Tomek,

Did anyone respond to your question? It looks to me like it slipped past us. 
Would you like me to file a bug for this issue?

My system is GNU/Linux so I can easily switch to LANG=en_US for the specific process of Kepler. But the problem was also confirmed on a Windows machine, and there the only option is to temporary switch whole system to another region settings which has some system-wide consequences.
