thanks! By "update currency" you mean being able to change the currency used in the app? Currently it is set automatically according to your browser's preferred languages. Example: English (United States) browser language displays values in US Dollars. English (India) uses Indian Rupees.

What happens in bilingual/trilingual countries where users never bothered to set the exactly right locale or may not even know it exists?

How about people who use the browser in english in principle?

Anecdote: I was once asked to translate a phone app into Chinese (i was just pasting strings from a real Chinese speaker) and the first request that came from the users was to add a language setting instead of just obeying the phone's locale.

thanks for sharing your opinion! It would be great if browsers allowed for more flexible locale settings (separate language and country/locale options) to accommodate these cases. I've created an issue (https://github.com/rare-magma/guitos/issues/39) to track this feature, if it gets some traction I'll consider implementing it.

It's not just browsers, mine was a native Android app. At least they allow changing the locale on app startup.

@nottorp I've added an option to override the currency on v0.9.0
