How can i do that in IOS ?

If the user types in similar information, then you could take your cue from that eg before converting user input number from string to numeric, check to see if they've used a dot or a comma, and set the decimal separator character accordingly.

I've done similar stuff with units and date/time formats, eg if user enters "27cm" then changes to metric, or if enters "11in" (or "11 inch" or "11 inches") then changes to imperial.

Also super-popular with users was ability to type dates such as "yesterday", "today", "tomorrow", "next monday", "last tuesday", etc although there was occasional disagreement about whether eg if today is Tuesday, then is next Wednesday the following day, or the Wednesday of next week? ?

Dim formatter As B4XFormatter
formatter.Initialize
formatter.GetDefaultFormat.DecimalPoint = GetDecimalSeparator
Log(formatter.Format(123.54))

Sub GetDecimalSeparator As String
    Dim locale As NativeObject
    Return locale.Initialize("NSLocale").RunMethod("currentLocale", Null).GetField("decimalSeparator").AsString
End Sub
