Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2016-12-29 06:48:53 UTC

When you try to convert a currency, the currency converter should also suggest conversion to the local currency. Right now, it suggests EUR, GBP, CAD and JPY if I type '1 USD'. However, in System Settings, I have chosen my region as 'India'. I would expect one of the suggested conversions to be the local currency (INR).

[Converter Runner] Also convert to the user's local currency

The "most common units" for currency listed by KUnitConversion are EUR, USD, GBP, CAD, JPY
but the local currency is probably what the user cares most about.

Does not works for me. Appear the same ones: EUR, GBP, CAD and JPY. Some especial indication?

Comment 5 Kai Uwe Broulik 2017-02-16 21:06:11 UTC

What is your local currency? What locale are you using? (eg. knowing your $LANG, $LANGUAGE, $LC_ALL, $LC_MONETARY would be useful)

In Regional Settings I have enabled all the items pointing to my country. Is there a file or another setting in the system? 
 
Thanks.

Locale command outputs the same: all pointing to my country.
