--- Comment #18 from Aivaras Stepukonis <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Ariel Constenla-Haile from comment #17) > I assume that the reasoning behind this is that the currency code is not > localizable because it is a standard, just like you don't translate ISO > country codes and the like. I do not question the meaning and usefulness of ISO codes. They're a good thing. But they do not meet (exhaust) all user needs, and some of those unmet needs are of the same type as the needs ISO codes do cover. That is to say, the reason why international ISO codes are implemented in this particular case (catering to the needs of users working on currency calculations) is the reason why those codes should be supplemented with locally standardized terms for currency names. Why? Because the need for "Eur" is of the same type as the ones for "EUR" or "€". The usage of "Eur" in Lithuania has been nationally standardized by the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language (see "http://www.vlkk.lt/lit/1094";, unfortunately, the page is in Lithuanian). > I didn't try, but that might be possible with a User-defined number format. Thank you for the tip. I gave it a shot by editing the format code as follows: "#.##0,00 [$Eur];#.##0,00 [$Eur]", and it worked. So at least there is a workaround, and a relatively easy one (although it may still be too difficult for many users). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
