[SOLVED] Translate Currency Symbol/Name

sickshot · March 28, 2014

hello,

so my problem is that my currency doesn't have symbol and I'm using just its name so when the language is switched form native to English currency stays untranslated.

so is there any way to translate currency symbol? or any other way maybe...

any ideas please....

try search "dollar symbol" in google.. then copy symbol then go to BO>Localization>Currencies>Click your country then paste in symbol then click SAVE/APPLY

Hi sickshot,

No solution yet, but maybe an idea that gets you started. I have a javascript that checks the body for instances of the currency (I believe you use GEL and ლარი, right?

If you add the following code to themes/<your theme folder>/header.tpl (just above the line

{$HOOK_HEADER}

INside the <head>...</head> tag ))

{assign var="hdr_language" value=Context::getContext()->language->id}
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    if ({$hdr_language} == XXXX) {
      var replaced=document.body.innerHTML.replace(/GEL/g,'ლარი');
      document.body.innerHTML=replaced;

    }
});
</script>

(and Replace XXXX witht the language ID of your Georgian language in PrestaShop)

In Localization->Currencies, use GEL as Unit of Currency.

What it does is, when the Language changes to Georgian, it will replace the GEL with ლარი.

This sounds great, but I bumped into a few problems:

- After replacing the body text with the new 'replaced' (in the line: document.body.innerHTML=replaced;), not all javascripts seem to work anymore, like the shoppingcart won't fold open, the top menu- drop down menu's won't open etc.

- When adding some product to the cart, I expect that the added product still has the GEL as currency unit, as it won't be 'translated' on the fly, only one time, when loading the page the first time.

So, this won't fully work, but it may give you some idea how wo do the translation. Maybe someone else has a great idea where to put this code to make it work everywhere and correctly with the diverse scripts...

My 2 cents,

pascal.

hello and thank you for your replays!

Pascal you're right thats exactly my case I'll check and see whats happens then I'll get back with the results..

No. sound silly but we dont have a symbol we use only GEL when needed in English as USD is used...

Hi Sickshot,

I think I found an easy way!

Edit file: classes/tools.php

find the function:

public static function displayPrice($price, $currency = null, $no_utf8 = false, Context $context = null)

	public static function displayPrice($price, $currency = null, $no_utf8 = false, Context $context = null)
	{
		if (!is_numeric($price))
			return $price;
		if (!$context)
			$context = Context::getContext();
		if ($currency === null)
			$currency = $context->currency;
		// if you modified this function, don't forget to modify the Javascript function formatCurrency (in tools.js)
		elseif (is_int($currency))
			$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)$currency);

		if (is_array($currency))
		{
			$c_char = $currency['sign'];
			$c_format = $currency['format'];
			$c_decimals = (int)$currency['decimals'] * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_;
			$c_blank = $currency['blank'];
		}
		elseif (is_object($currency))
		{
			$c_char = $currency->sign;


			$c_format = $currency->format;
			$c_decimals = (int)$currency->decimals * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_;
			$c_blank = $currency->blank;
		}
		else
			return false;

		$blank = ($c_blank ? ' ' : '');
		$ret = 0;
		if (($is_negative = ($price < 0)))
			$price *= -1;
		$price = Tools::ps_round($price, $c_decimals);
		switch ($c_format)
		{
			/* X 0,000.00 */
			case 1:
				$ret = $c_char.$blank.number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ',');
				break;
			/* 0 000,00 X*/
			case 2:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, ',', ' ').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
			/* X 0.000,00 */
			case 3:
				$ret = $c_char.$blank.number_format($price, $c_decimals, ',', '.');
				break;
			/* 0,000.00 X */
			case 4:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ',').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
			/* 0 000.00 X  Added for the switzerland currency */
			case 5:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ' ').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
		}
		if ($is_negative)
			$ret = '-'.$ret;
		if ($no_utf8)
			return str_replace('€', chr(128), $ret);
		return $ret;
	}

and add the follwing lines:

if ((int)Context::getContext()->language->id == XXXX) // XXXX is langage ID of Greorgian

$c_char ='ლარი'; // (see your Localization->Languages)

like this:

	public static function displayPrice($price, $currency = null, $no_utf8 = false, Context $context = null)
	{
		if (!is_numeric($price))
			return $price;
		if (!$context)
			$context = Context::getContext();
		if ($currency === null)
			$currency = $context->currency;
		// if you modified this function, don't forget to modify the Javascript function formatCurrency (in tools.js)
		elseif (is_int($currency))
			$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)$currency);

		if (is_array($currency))
		{
			$c_char = $currency['sign'];
			$c_format = $currency['format'];
			$c_decimals = (int)$currency['decimals'] * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_;
			$c_blank = $currency['blank'];
		}
		elseif (is_object($currency))
		{
			$c_char = $currency->sign;


			$c_format = $currency->format;
			$c_decimals = (int)$currency->decimals * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_;
			$c_blank = $currency->blank;
		}
		else
			return false;


                if ((int)Context::getContext()->language->id == XXXX)  // <-- add here
                        $c_char ='ლარი';

		$blank = ($c_blank ? ' ' : '');
		$ret = 0;
		if (($is_negative = ($price < 0)))
			$price *= -1;
		$price = Tools::ps_round($price, $c_decimals);
		switch ($c_format)
		{
			/* X 0,000.00 */
			case 1:
				$ret = $c_char.$blank.number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ',');
				break;
			/* 0 000,00 X*/
			case 2:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, ',', ' ').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
			/* X 0.000,00 */
			case 3:
				$ret = $c_char.$blank.number_format($price, $c_decimals, ',', '.');
				break;
			/* 0,000.00 X */
			case 4:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ',').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
			/* 0 000.00 X  Added for the switzerland currency */
			case 5:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ' ').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
		}
		if ($is_negative)
			$ret = '-'.$ret;
		if ($no_utf8)
			return str_replace('€', chr(128), $ret);
		return $ret;
	}

resullt:

before changing to Greorgian language:

after:

If you have more languages that you support, you can change the line to something like:

if (((int)Context::getContext()->language->id == XXXX) AND ((int)Context::getContext()->currency->id == YYYY)) //
$c_char ='ლარი';

Where YYYY is currency ID of Greorgian currency

Hope that helps,

pascal.

thank you Pascal, I did it, but site messed up . my code looks little different as I can see, maybe theres something to do with the PS version? i'm running 1.4.7

I'm unable to post my code in post so I attach it..

Tools.php

Hi sickshot,

Don't add the name of the language, but it's ID number:

So for example, if your language ka has an ID of 2:

Don't add:

if ((int)Context::getContext()->language->id == ka)
$c_char ='ლარი';

but

if ((int)Context::getContext()->language->id == 2)
$c_char ='ლარი';

That should do the trick.

pascal

sickshot · March 31, 2014

sorry but result is the same...

PascalVG · March 31, 2014

emm, 1.4.7 right....

try this:

(If your language ka has an ID of 2):

if ((int)$cookie->id_lang == 2)
$c_char ='ლარი';

Hope this is it...

pascal

sickshot · April 2, 2014

hello PascalVG

tried this last code and nothing happened

PascalVG · April 3, 2014

Sorry.... Didn't work with 1.4 for a while...

add:

global $cookie;

if ((int)$cookie->id_lang == 2)
$c_char ='ლარი';

total function:

	public static function displayPrice($price, $currency = NULL, $no_utf8 = false)
	{
		if ($currency === NULL)
			$currency = Currency::getCurrent();
		/* if you modified this function, don't forget to modify the Javascript function formatCurrency (in tools.js) */
		if (is_int($currency))
			$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)$currency);
		
		if (is_array($currency))
		{
			$c_char = $currency['sign'];
			$c_format = $currency['format'];
			$c_decimals = (int)$currency['decimals'] * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_;
			$c_blank = $currency['blank'];
		}
		elseif (is_object($currency))
		{
			$c_char = $currency->sign;
			$c_format = $currency->format;
			$c_decimals = (int)$currency->decimals * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_;
			$c_blank = $currency->blank;
		}
		else
			return false;



		global $cookie;
 		if ((int)$cookie->id_lang == 1)  // replace 1 with language ID where GEL should be replaced with ლარი
                         $c_char ='ლარი';


		
		$blank = ($c_blank ? ' ' : '');
		$ret = 0;
		if (($isNegative = ($price < 0)))
			$price *= -1;
		$price = self::ps_round($price, $c_decimals);
		switch ($c_format)
	 	{
	 	 	/* X 0,000.00 */
	 	 	case 1:
				$ret = $c_char.$blank.number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ',');
				break;
			/* 0 000,00 X*/
			case 2:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, ',', ' ').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
			/* X 0.000,00 */
			case 3:
				$ret = $c_char.$blank.number_format($price, $c_decimals, ',', '.');
				break;
			/* 0,000.00 X */
			case 4:
				$ret = number_format($price, $c_decimals, '.', ',').$blank.$c_char;
				break;
		}
		if ($isNegative)
			$ret = '-'.$ret;
		if ($no_utf8)
			return str_replace('â‚¬', chr(128), $ret);
		return $ret;
	}

Hope this really does the trick.

Can you give me the URL to see the result?

thank you it worked everywhere except product page...

PascalVG · April 3, 2014

Please edit themes/<your theme folder>/js/tools.js (make backup, just in case)

edit Function formatCurrency:

//return a formatted price
function formatCurrency(price, currencyFormat, currencySign, currencyBlank)
{
   // if you modified this function, don't forget to modify the PHP function displayPrice (in the Tools.php class)
   blank = '';
   price = Number(price);
   price = parseFloat(price.toFixed(6));
   price = ps_round(price, priceDisplayPrecision);

   global $cookie;
    if ((int)$cookie->id_lang == 1)
        $currencySign ='ლარი';

   if (currencyBlank > 0)
       blank = ' ';
...

I think we're finally there....

Great Work!

Thank you so much for helping me solve this! you are awesome!

P.S. can this code make other Java script to freeze? I'm using color attributes and when I choose color Image doesnt change anymore...
