Use regional settings of current user
Uses the regional settings specified on the Number tab in the current user's Windows Regional Settings Properties dialog.
Use regional settings of current document language
Uses the regional settings for the language of the questionnaire. If you are using UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on, this setting can lead to a minor problem in the maximum values of real (decimal) questions in Eyes & Hands Forms (EHF) when the regional settings of the questionnaire language is different from the user's regional settings. During the transfer to EHF, the minimum value is generally rounded downwards and the maximum value is rounded upwards. However, when the regional settings differ, the maximum value is sometimes rounded downwards instead of upwards.
For example, suppose the minimum value is defined as 10.15 and the maximum value as 888.14. When these are rounded to whole numbers, we would expect the minimum value to be rounded to 10 and the maximum value to be rounded up to 889. However, when the regional settings differ, the maximum value might be rounded down to 888.
