Can you fix the Currency Notation? -...

When selecting "Norwegian Kroner (NOK)" as the Default Currency, the currency in the shop is displayed as "NKr". When selecting "Swedish Kronor (SEK)" the shop displays "kr", and when "Danish Kroner (DKK)" it displays "Dkr". (When returning to Norwegian kroner in the Creator the preview displayed "kr" but when uploading it was "NKr" again).

The correct syntax for Norwegian kroner is either "NOK" or "kr", the first one used if it is important to state the type of currency, the second one when used in a context where it is obvious that the currency is the local one. The local "kr" should also be followed by at least one blank position before the first digit of the amount.

Using the notation "NKr" as well as "kr" with no following space will be regarded by the public here in Norway as unprofessional and will immediately give my shop an amateurish or even dubious impression.

Can you please fix it so that the amounts in the shop are preceded with "kr" and a blank as in "kr 120,00"? If you can do that, I can live with the decimal point as a point (we use comma as the decimal delimiter in Norway).

I have a Danish, a Norwegian, and a Swedish shop, as well as 4 others. It's very important to me that the official international currency notations DKK, NOK, and SEK are used. These are the same in Paypal, so noone needs to get confused. I don't think anyone notices the decimal point as opposed to the decimal comma, even though, I believe, it's commas all the way in most of Europe.

Will it be kr or NOK in version 3.8 (or a choice, maybe)?
It's a kind of magic!

I fully appreciate there being different needs for this. A choice would of course be the very best. As I pointed out in the beginning of this thread "The correct syntax for Norwegian kroner is either "NOK" or "kr", the first one used if it is important to state the type of currency, the second one when used in a context where it is obvious that the currency is the local one."

According to my experience this is correct in Denmark and Sweden as well. The only snag about it is that when "kr" is used in Sweden they claim it should be placed behind the amount, not preceding it. So making the currency notification and position a choice would be excellent, for example like this:

Where the options for display could be the default (international) notation as well as the local one(s) (all of us will help you on what value should be presented for each currency), and the options for positioning could be:

Left aligned
Preceding no space
Preceding with space
Following no space
Following with space

What do you think?

Our developers already made the change as you documented in your first post, so I think we are all set. Unless there is some other thing you need. Just remember that each tweak delays the release of the pro version ;)
