Change currency symbol without changing the locale

[Arthur]

I would like to change the currency symbol globally, not per pipe/function or component.

So in my case I want to display amounts in "€", but the application's locale should be the default one (en-US).

I did not found anything in the documentation, any ideas?

Hello Arthur,

Though the question is not related to KendoAngular components, would suggest to use some kind of Singleton service , which will hold the value of currency ( which is global for the app ) and will be updated according to user preferences. This value can be then used in UI with some kind of directive or component that will take care for updating and displaying it.

I hope this will help you.

Hello Ivan,

is the currency symbol tied to the locale, so I can only change the locale globally or provide the currency symbol in the pipes via the format option?

Hi Arthur,

It is not out of the box solution , but you can do something like in this stackblizt sample.  There is other more robust way, which involves defining new locale and using it as variant of your locale. We will consolut with the core team for this implementation and will follow you back.

Hello Arthur,

Just to follow you up with other way to achieve the desired behaviour, just use

intlService.formatNumber(number, customCurrencyOptions)

like in this stackblitz sample.
