What is the best way to convert a currency string ''USD'' to locale :en-US?
What is the best way to convert a currency string ''USD'' to locale :en-US? Right now trying to make it flexible to show the money and symbol correctly based on the currency string (like ''USD'' or ''AUD'') stored against the user''s record. I need to be able to do the following based on say ''GBP'' string: <%= number_to_currency(1234567890.506, :locale => :en-GB) %> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You could make a helper that would extract this value from the user and
translate the display string. If you set up a hash like {''USD''
=> :en-US, ''GBP'' => :en-BG, ...} then there would be one
place to look for the correct symbol.

Hang on do you mean to convert USD 1000 into AUD 1000? Surely you would need to do a currency conversion because USD 1000 is AUD 1064. This would seem to have nothing to do with locales at all.

Re: What is the best way to convert a currency string ''USD'' to locale :en-US?
I just saw a gem on RubyFlow last week that handles currency conversions using Google as a data source. If that''s what you''re after, forget what I said and use that.
