Hi Michał, thanks for your report. When building this feature we initially used just ISO 4217 currency codes, but got requests from our US devels to use the "$" symbol instead, because they are not used to see the "USD" code in websites.
But using the "$" symbol presents a problem when using this in a country where it means a different thing. Say, "Mexican Peso" or "Australian Dollar". In those cases, users would be expecting to be charged in their home currency, and would be surprised to find a charge in USD in their credit card bill. A different option is using the "long symbol" form (eg: US$), as defined in the unicode standard: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/26/summary/root.html#2976 Our US devels found it more acceptable, since it's a bit more common to them to see US$ than USD, so we ended up using symbols or long symbols for a handful for currencies, and ISO codes for the rest: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-control-tower/unity-scope-click/trunk/view/head:/libclickscope/click/configuration.cpp#L60 ** Changed in: unity-scope-click (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion ** Changed in: unity-scope-click (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1408639 Title: Use ISO 4217 standard for displaying currency in the app price To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scope-click/+bug/1408639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
