I am trying to:
Ferrita.com want to have only one currency showing on the site. But when switching between swedish and english, the currency "value" from let say 599kr dont change to 599 SEK.
I have checked the settings and tried different settings, but it wont change.
What am i doing wrong?
No i only want one currency, the swedish currency is displayed in kr in sweden, and SEK in the world.
I wonder how i can display SEK instead of kr when switching to english?
I prepared a small screencast. Mau I ask you to take a look and tell me if I am doing something wrong because, from my point of view, it seems correct.
Thanks for the recording.
But im sorry that i forgot to tell you that the current ferrita.com is not a wordpress site. We have rebuilt ferrita.com on another web hosting, so im working on the new ferrita.com with a local redirect.
But to see my issue, go to this page. It has the same settings of my first screen shot: hidden link
try to switch language and you will see that it is not going to change from kr to SEK.
What do i need to do to get it to change for the swedish currency?
So you wish to have different currencies per language
In Swedish language the currency should be KR
In the English language should be SEK.
Is this correct can you please confirm?
Also, the prices per language will be converted based on a rate that you will add in the primary currency and will be automatically converted to secondary or do you wish to have totally different prices per currency?
They wanted multicurrency at the beginning. but the longer the project went they only wanted to show the swedish currency but in different price indication (kr in swedish language and SEK for english language).
But there may be an easier way to display kr for swedish language and SEK for english language rather than set it in multicurrency tab?
I am afraid that this cannot be done our of the box and it needs a custom code because you need different currency symbols and different prices for actually the same currency code.
It is out of the scope of this forum to provide support for custom code, but I will give you some hints in order to test it and try to achieve it.
I can think of something like this :
Add a secondary currency and fix the currency rate for example. The in frontend change the currency symbol with the correct symbol.
Have in mind that this is a very basic example, I have no tested it or maybe you wish to add more code to include more places.
function change_currency_symbol_based_on_language( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {
// Get the current language
$current_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
// Define currency symbol based on the language
switch ( $current_language ) {
case 'en':
if ( $currency == 'SEK' ) {
$currency_symbol = 'SEK';
case 'sv':
if ( $currency == 'you_other_currency' ) {
$currency_symbol = 'kr';
}
default:
if ( $currency == 'SEK' ) {
$currency_symbol = 'SEK';
}
break;
}
return $currency_symbol;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'change_currency_symbol_based_on_language', 10, 2 );
Or maybe you can register a custom currency and see if WCML can read it correctly and then and make the proper changes there.
But even if you translate the string, you need to have different prices per language.
If you don't need it and you just need to show something different per language, you need to ensure that it will show properly in all places including emails etc.
If everything is working as expected, then it would be great.
