Introduction<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Locales and Currency setting is\u00a0the most important part to create a product in Akeneo.<\/strong> In a most simple definition, we can say that a currency is a system of money in common use, particularly in a nation.<\/p>\n

Every nation has its specific currency and its value across the globe.<\/p>\n

Under this definition, US dollars, British pounds, European euros, and Russian rubles are examples of currency. Various currencies are identified by their values and exchanged between nations in foreign exchange markets.<\/p>\n

Akeneo<\/strong> provides the support of 294 currencies. We can use the currencies to set the value for the price attribute type. Currencies and locales are internally related to each other.<\/p>\n

A locale is the definition of the user’s language and region. A locale is a set of parameters. Generally, a locale identifier consists of a country code or language code.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong> If you are using American English for your e-commerce channel. Akeneo provides the code like en_US. In which en specify the English language and the US specify the country code.<\/p>\n

Akeneo provides 200 locale support by default. You can also import more locales if you want. You can add a locale with the CSV\/XLSX<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n
