--- Comment #16 from mathieu saby <mathieu.s...@univ-rennes2.fr> ---
I wanted to make some tests to see how your patch is dealing exactly with $ and
€.
But I got a nasty error in master when I wanted to add orders : 'Can't use
string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
/home/msaby/kohamaster/src/C4/Items.pm line 2712.'
I will create a new bug for that...
I think that the function you suppressed assumed the currency symbol is always
before the price, while this is not the case in every country, and especially
in France. In France, we write : 15 €, 12 $.
So I wonder if it was working well before...
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign : "Many currencies, especially
in Latin America and the English-speaking world, place it before the amount
(e.g., R$50,00); many others place it after the amount (e.g., 50.00 S₣)"
Moreover, in France, according to cataloguing rules, we normally don't use
those symbols, but 3 letters codes put after the price : 15 EUR, 12 USD, 10 GBP
etc.
Those 3 letter symbols are defined in standard ISO 4217.
In the record we receive from our main providers (Electre, BNF). For Sudoc
network (ABES), it is a recommandation, but symbols like $ are tolerated.
