Dollar sign placement

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
French Canadian pricing uses he dollar sign after the number i.e. 22.00$ not $22.00

Is there an easy way to accommodate this for the translated side of the site?

Solution:
To configure the currency for the secondary language of your website please follow these steps:

- Navigate to WooCommerce -> WooCommerce Multilingual -> Multi-currency tab
- Enable the multi-currency mode if it's not enabled already and click on 'Add currency'
- Select 'Canadian Dollar' and pick an exchange rate for it
- Mark the Currency position as 'Right' and save it
- Finally, please enable the new added currency to the desired language and click on 'Save changes' at the bottom of the page

Now, when users switch to the secondary language, they'll see the new currency you created.

Additionally, you can check about adding a currency switcher.

With this option you are able to switch currencies without even having to access the translated version of your website.

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hello there, Currently, the options to add the same currency twice or more or to customize the same currency for specific languages are not available. As a workaround, and following the steps above, you can add a different currency like the 'United States dollar' and configure one of them to have the dollar sign on the left and the other on the right. After that you'll be able to select the right currency for the main and secondary languages of your website. It would be also possible to achieve it with some code customization. I'm afraid it would be beyond the scope of this support forum but we recommend that you check our contractors page: https://wpml.org/contractors/. Alternatively, please feel free to request this feature in the link: https://wpml.org/suggest-a-new-feature-for-wpml/. We will analyze it and upon further check, it might be available in the next versions of WPML and WCML. If you need anything else don't hesitate to contact us. Best, Mateus
