ASP.NET Web API doesn't parse floating numbers with a '.'
Hi everyone, I have a quick question about ASP.NET I am scratching my head over this for an hour now. Why when I ask a simple float number in my controller and I give for exemple ''12.547" it does not get parsed and just returns to the calling client this response: 
{
    "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.1",
    "title": "One or more validation errors occurred.",
    "status": 400,
    "traceId": "00-975a6f23fd686e43f96af5532f544f5b-83eec17e49f1b737-00",
    "errors": {
        "Time": [
            "The value '1572.752214' is not valid for Time."
        ]
    }
}
{
    "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.1",
    "title": "One or more validation errors occurred.",
    "status": 400,
    "traceId": "00-975a6f23fd686e43f96af5532f544f5b-83eec17e49f1b737-00",
    "errors": {
        "Time": [
            "The value '1572.752214' is not valid for Time."
        ]
    }
}
It might be a culture problem, because my computer is in french, and floating numbers are formatted like '12,547' for example. But I did not find any way of telling ASP to use the en-US culture. Any idea? Thank you so much.
