WebElement.getText() does not return the correct value in case of comma separated numbers.

Meta -

OS: Windows 10 64-Bit
Selenium Version:
selenium-remote-driver-3.0.1
Browser:
Chrome

Browser Version:
Version 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit)

Expected Behavior -

We have an td html element containing the text 0,29. After finding it via driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath")) the call of the method WebElement.getText() should return 0,29 as string.

Actual Behavior -

The method WebElement.getText() returns 0.29 as string.

Steps to reproduce -

Try to find any html element containing a number as string (e.g 0,45) with the selenium remote driver. The call of WebElement.getText() will return a number as string separated with dots. Probably because of the internal framework conversion from json to webElement

I've added tests for this case by d28fa64
Firefox passes them both locally and remotely in Selenium 3.3.1 and geckodriver 0.15.

So it must be related to environment. What's your locale?
