you mean
string fr_double =
convert<string>::from<***double***>(
convert<double>::from(en_str)(locale_=en_locale)
)(locale_=fr_locale);

There is something missing in this function. The intermediary class.
Anyway I don't think we need a specific function for this specific case. I would prefer to qualify the string class be converted with formatting specifics.
string fr_double = convert_to_using<fr_locale<string>, double>::from(en_locale(en_str));
which can be readen as convert from a string representing a double with the english locale to a string with a french locale.
Best,
Vicente
