[mary-dev] Problem trying to add pt_BR - PhoneUnitLabelComputer step

[Fabio Tesser]

Hello  Ingmar and Fábio,

I would like to add my 2 cent on this:

When I have tried built a new voice in a machine with an Italian locale, 
I remember that I got a similar error.

If I remember well, the component that make use the "comma" instead the 
"." as my opinion was LabelPauseDeleter, but I haven’t investigated very 
deeply.

I fixed the problem running the voice import tools from a terminal with 
a different locale.

For example, in gnome ubuntu you can do this:

$ env LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnome-terminal --disable-factory

Best,
Fabio.
