Replication instructions:

To test this, you'll need to change your Locale. For Ubuntu, you can do
that using instructions from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76013
/how-do-i-add-locale-to-ubuntu-server

1. Install the Dutch language locale on your computer:

 sudo locale-gen nl_NL.UTF-8
 sudo update-locale

2. You'll also need to force Mahara to use that new locale. Normally,
Mahara uses a method called "set_locale_for_language()" to try to set
the locale to match the current language pack. So you can either install
the Dutch language pack, or hack set_locale_for_language(). It's in the
htdocs/lib/mahara.php file. Add this to the top of the
set_locale_for_language() function:

 setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL.UTF-8');
 return;

3. Having done this, log in to Mahara and go to Portfolio -> Pages.
4. Create or edit a page, and go to the "Layout" tab

Expected result: You should see thumbnails for all the layouts
Actual result: Thumbnails for several layouts will be missing

Title:
  Page layout thumbnails are broken if you use a locale that does commas
  for decimals

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug is a follow-up to Bug 1461040. The code in Mahara that
  generates SVG files for page layouts, breaks if you are using a locale
  that does commas for decimals, instead of periods. e.g. one half is
  "0,5" rather than "0.5".

  Here's a quote from the other bug:

  I also encountered this after beginning with translation of Mahara
  15.04 into Estonian. As the locale setting have also been changed the
  values returned by PHP (please correct me if I am wrong) will be comma
  separated and not separated with decimal point (due to Estonian
  representation of float numbers). So Peter probably sees only the SVG
  images which are not returned with float values. Small output of false
  return values which are not rendered by browser: <rect x="52,2"
  y="18"..></rect>. (should be x="52.2")

  This also affects gallery where the images should be centered but due
  to false float values are not.

  The fix provided at the moment helps, but does not solve the float
  number representation. I have chosen to replace "," in returned values
  with "." in layoutpreviewimage.php and it has "solved" the problem. I
  am open for better solutions.

  I hope this helps a bit.
