I checked it with Slovenian (sl) locale, which has "," as decimal symbol.

It looks like it didn't help here (tested with Solar system viewer). The lines 
get converted into x, y and z like this:

kstars(15963) PlanetViewer::initPlotObjects: "-6,98033  -29,2803  5,15193"
kstars(15963) PlanetViewer::initPlotObjects: -6 0 0
kstars(15963) PlanetViewer::initPlotObjects: "-4,10681  -30,3042  4,42964"
kstars(15963) PlanetViewer::initPlotObjects: -4 0 0
kstars(15963) PlanetViewer::initPlotObjects: "-1,19876  -31,0746  3,67024"
kstars(15963) PlanetViewer::initPlotObjects: -1 0 0

And the result is a white horizontal line in the viewer.
So it is still better with "." as a decimal symbol. Maybe QTextStream does 
something wrong when it just strips everything after and including the "." 
symbol and leaves only the whole part of it.
