[Resolved] How to translate currency name

Hi,

thank you for contacting WPML Support!

WooCommerce Multilingual gets all the currency data from WooCommerce.

With WooCommerce Multilingual you can customize the currency switcher but you cannot change the currency name or symbols
- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/

To customize the symbol you can try the code in this documentation:
- https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/add-a-custom-currency-symbol/

With WPML String Translation you can change the translations of the currency names.
- Go to WPML -> String Translation
- Search for "United States dollar"
- Translate the string for all the languages.

And, you can search for a plugin that helps to do this.

A WPML user says this works for him:

In my case I didn't want to have the full name of my currency ("Bulgarian Lev") but just "Lev". So I managed to do this with adding a filter to woocommerce_currencies and do the changes there like so:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_currencies', 'change_bulgarian_lev_name' );
function change_bulgarian_lev_name( $currencies ) {
  //here you need to select your currency by currency abbreviation. 
  $currencies['BGN']="Leva";
  return $currencies;
}

Change the code to the code you want.

To change this you will need custom coding. As this is a custom feature, unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of our support.

If you prefer, you can contact one of our certified partners who can develop small to large features for your site: http://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-contractors/

Please, let me know if I can help with any other questions you may have. I'll be happy to help.

Regards,
Riffaz.

Hi,

As I explained already it comes from WooCommerce not from WPML.
So we can not do anything about it.

Anyhow, did you try the solution that I gave you in previous reply?
Did you translate the currency translation name or the code to change the currency name as I explain in last reply?

Please try and let me know.

Regards,
