[code]catajson.cpp[30]: Parse error in data/raw/techniques.json.

ERROR: syntax error at line 323 near: ,  
catajson.cpp[30]: Parse error in data/raw/martialarts.json.

ERROR: syntax error at line 34 near: ,[/code]  
Example:

```auto

```

Perhaps in the case of a separator whole and fractional part of the Russian localization. We have a comma(,) instead of a point(.).  
If I change the separator to the point, the problem disappears.

Looks like the same problem as [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/3191](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/3191).

We’re moving to a new JSON parser for 0.9 which won’t have this problem.

For 0.8, the workaround is to override the “LC\_NUMERIC” environment variable. I think you can do this on windows? I assume setting it to something like “en\_US” (just for cataclysm) will mean the numbers will be read correctly. Can you try it out and see if it works?

It is work. When I added environment variable LC\_NUMERIC=en\_US, error disappeared.
