I'm interested in using two currencies for my customers - both EUR and Dollar.
Best of all would be to have EUR in this format = 1,00 (comma-separated) for my german customers and Dollar in this format = 1.00 (period-separated) for my american customers.
Because Paypal in Germany only accepts EUR in 1,00 format, and Paypal in US only accepts Dollar in 1.00 format.
stereoid - hmm... i think it is problem that i can't help You in few steps :/ i have no idea yet how to solve it

OK, I understand it is difficult.
But I have another solution. If don't use comma or period-separated prices, but only whole numbers like 1 or 99 instead of 1,00 or 99,00. It would be OK!
So how can I use two different currencies. I want to let the customer change currency. German customers choose and see EUR prices, and US customers choose and see Dollar prices.
Please help. thanks!

The simple solution is to have two sites, develop in one and then copy the /files/ and /db/ folders to the other and change the prices. This also means you can fix the Paypal issue at the same time.
However this isnt very elegant to say the least!! Other solutions would involve a lot of reprogramming I suggest.

..which has been done by the team with Q.C 2 beta!!
I think it will be possible to trap the language selection in the new version using the variable sLang to drive different currencies in the site, however its the admin side that needs looking at as it would be best to keep all the information on the one form when creating the content and then writing it to the appropriate file. sLang can also determine the selection of the appropriate PayPal script.
Other problem will be trapping the shopping cart so it doesn't allow the customer to change currencies half way through a shopping session.
But its a posibillity..:-)

Yes, this looks promising. Very good work by treewood & companions!
I hope this will be working in Q.C 2 because this is an option that many shops need in our global world of the net.
So yet, we still have to relate to a bunch of popular currencies around the world.
