What are the potential issues with decimal point and comma conversion in PHP scripts when switching between languages?

When switching between languages, the decimal point and comma conversion can cause issues in PHP scripts. To solve this problem, you can use the `number_format` function to explicitly format numbers with the desired decimal point and thousands separator. 

// Set the locale to a specific language
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, 'fr_FR');

// Format the number with the desired decimal point and thousands separator
$number = 1234.56;
$formatted_number = number_format($number, 2, ',', ' ');

echo $formatted_number; // Output: 1 234,56
