So, in a multilingual application how would one convert all these?
"1234567,89" European comma decimal point
"1,234,567,89" European comma decimal point, with thousand separators
"1,234,567.89" American period decimal point, with thousand separators
"123,456,789" integer with thousand separators

Huh? The first one would not work properly using that strategy.
"1234567,89" -> "1234567 89" -> 123456789
should be
"1234567,89" -> 1234567.89
As Joe pointed out, you can't do this correctly without knowing the locale of the data upfront. For example, should "151,337" be converted to numeric?
