[Zope3-Users] zope.i18n.locales and currency

2008-05-23 Thread Adam GROSZER
Hello,

Which is the sane to format currencies?

locale.numbers.getFormatter('currency').format(value)
Holds something like: ¤1,000,000.00

Should I simply replace "¤" with the currency sign or is there a
better way?

That's more or less what I've been doing. I looked extensively, but
couldn't find a better way. (or even any documentation)

What I understand is that  "¤" is a symbol that would be replaced by the
`correct` sign/character/string during translation for a given language and
currency. I haven't seen it working myself though.

A bug that is oin my backlog since years. :-( It would be a very easy fix for 
someone to do though.
