How to convert International number strings to their number values

The JavaScript Number() function does not work correctly. It will not
convert a string that contains a comma to a number. Commas are used as
decimal points in locales outside the U.S. However, the JavaScript Number()
function returns the error "-1.#IND" when you try to use a comma in the
string parameter. Changing the Regional Language settings in the OS to
German does not help. In fact, when JavaScript runs on a German XP OS, it
still gives this error.

How can I convert an international string to a number in JavaScript?
