[Fixed in next Release] Currency format of EUR wrongly applied to main currency GBP

Ok, it took some doing but I got it working. I added values for all of the settings input names: woocommerce_price_decimal_sep, woocommerce_price_thousand_sep and woocommerce_currency_pos (changed to right_space).

But on the shop page on the French site (hidden link) and product page, it was still showing in the EN format.

Then I added a translation for the currency symbol itself (EUR) and only then did it start working as expected.

Is this the recommended way to translate currencies? I would have thought the multi-currency plugin would be used for this, but it doesn't work, as I described in my original query. I'm certain the main use case is translating the currency format by language, not setting it per currency.

Now I'm even more confused than when we started.

What I'm trying to do:

Currencies should display in the format for the language. So if I'm on the default (EN) site, prices should be: £1,234.00. On the French site, currency should be EUR and display in the FR format: 1 234,00 €

Note that in France, there is a space after the cents and the € sign, hence the correct value is 'right_space'. Regardless of whether the translation value is 'right' or 'right_space', it doesn't show correctly on the 'FR' site.

I changed the settings on the Multi-currency page (hidden link) to only show the desired currency on the site for that language (see screen shot). However, EUR still doesn't display correctly - it's still showing in the EN format, despite adding the translated values for position, decimal_sep and thousand_sep.

1) Shouldn't the currency format selector on the above page be used to set the format for that currency? Why does changing it here override the global values? It seems wrong that I need to go to the WooCom settings page (hidden link), inspect elements to get the select input name, and then use String translation.

2) The bigger problem is that despite adding string translations for these values, I still don't have prices formatted correctly by site language.

3) Ideally, users should be able to choose their currency, despite their language. For example, someone in a European country other than France may want to shop the EN site, but see prices in EUR. With the settings in the screen shot, this isn't possible.

So basically, this is still a giant mess. I think there is a major bug in the way the currency format is set on the the above multi-currency page. However, if you can get it working as I've described, then I'm not too bothered about that.

Ok - no problem if you need more time. The store won't be launching for at least a week or two, so I just need this working before then.

Ideally, I'd like to show both currencies in both shops and give the user the choice. I changed the settings as per the screenshot as a temporary solution to try to get the format working. Once the format it set per shop language, then I hope we can enable both currencies in both shops.

Thanks!

My apologies - I should have checked that but glad you found the problem.

I tested and we're nearly there, but one big problem remains. I added the currency switcher to the top navigation bar. On the EN site, I can toggle between currencies, and they display correctly.

On the FR site, Euro displays fine, and in the correct format. However, when you switch to GBP, all prices are zero and in the wrong format, e.g. £0.00.

Can you please at look at what's causing this / how to fix?

Many thanks for your help so far.
