Sorry, it did not.

Ok, it's a little bit confusing, I have expanded the code a little bit:

'############################ Add1.vbs ################################
For Each str In WSH.Arguments
    For Each i In Array("de-de", "en-us", "en-gb", "nl-nl", "fr-fr")
        SetLocale (i)
        WSH.Echo vbCRLF & "Calculate the value of " & str & " plus 1:"
        If IsNumeric(str) Then
            WSH.Echo i & ": " & CDbl(str) & " + 1 = " & CDbl(str) + 1
            WSH.Echo i & ": " & str & " + 1 = " & str + 1
        Else
            WSH.Echo "Is not a numeric value in " & i & ": " & str
        End If
        WSH.Echo vbCRLF & "Now computing another value for output:"
        WSH.Echo i & ": " & 3.141 & " * 10^3 + 1 = " & 3.141 * 10^3 + 1
        WSH.Echo i & ": " & 3,141 & " * 10^3 + 1 = " & 3,141 * 10^3 + 1
    Next
Next
'############################ Add1.vbs ################################

You see the different results in French? In the French locale conversion
the correct number of digits is checked, otherwise it results in an
error. In other language conversions it's not. SetLocale refers only to
the output of strings, but also to the conversion of input strings into
the correct VBScript format for a calculation of digits.

The locale conversion routine parses the digits for separation signs and
removes them all, but not in the french version, there they will be only
removed if the number of digits is right (three!). The behaviour of
VBScript seems a little bit astonishing, I have to confess. Maybe I have
understand you wrong because I have not seen your code and what do you 
want.
