Ignition 8.0.4 system.dataset.toCSV in US vs Belgium.

I am using the following to generate CSV for export. The project is used in both the US and Belgium with very different results in both places.

```auto
csv = system.dataset.toCSV(table.viewDataset, showHeaders=1, forExport=0, localized=1)

```

From the US I get:

```auto
"A1","","IDLE","",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"0"
"A1","4","12329","N/A : 220 : 60 ",,,,,,,,,,"1.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","3.1","63.10000000000002"

```

Similar lines from Belgium are:

```auto
"H8,"""",""IDLE"","""",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,""0"""
"A1,""4"",""12443"",""N/A : 220 : 60 "",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""1,1"",""34,100000000000016"""

```

We are using this step to get the data into Excel because html is used in the header and I have found no good way to strip out the html without first passing through this step.
