Currency management
The system uses specified transaction currency for each language. Regardless of the base currency that is used to specify prices of products, delivery, etc., the shopping cart and the ordering page will indicate prices in the currency that is defined for the given interface language.
For example, you can set USD as the US English language currency. This will cause all prices that are displayed in the US English language sites to be indicated in USD.
