It should respect your region and language settings by default. If it doesn't, file a bug report.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is this actually a bug though? I just don't think krunner or many other calculators for that matter use delimiters anymore. Therefore, the only thing it is changing based on regional settings is the use of the comma or period to denote a decimal.
I could be wrong considering I had a bit of trouble understanding the post. I just bring this up because in American English there are no delimiters for thousands place or above either.
Also I don't see how from this post the decimal point is wrong. Sure it is simplified to one decimal place, but again many calculators do this. Perhaps op simply needs something that provides more fine grained control over number formatting than what krunner is supposed to.
If that was true, it should be using no delimiters, and therefore still a bug.
Also, American English delimits large numbers like 1,000,000.

It uses a comma instead of a punctuation mark as the decimal point. Default numbers formatting on my system uses a punctuation mark. In other words, it is ignoring my system settings for what numbers should look like.

In that case I would expect it to output the numbers without the delimiter. But I have not set the number formatting to American English.
