Globalization decimal type client validation in mvc

Question

I have an application that is multilingual. I have a simple model like this

public class Product
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public decimal Price{ get; set; }
}

I set CurrentCulture to a culture that has different decimal separator like French "fr-FR" (in french decimal separator is , ). In my Create Page when I put a number like 655,20 for price I got a javascript validation error that says:

The field Price must be a number.

When I change CurrentCulture to en-Us I can submit my form.

You can use the Globalisation Nuget Package (globalize.js) which works with jQuery. Alternatively you can override the $.validator.methods.number method to allow an alternative decimal separator For an example refer this blog.
