Converting International Currency Formats

Hi, has anyone had to deal with currency format differences between multiple targets?

I.E. my US target needs to output as $3,000.00 and my ZA target needs to output as R3 000,00.

Could use some tips and direction!

Assuming this is manually-entered data, you can use conditional text to include/exclude content from specific targets. So in your case, you'd add:
  • $3,000.00 ← Create and apply a condition like "US Only"
  • R3 000,00 ← Create and apply a condition like "ZA Only"
Then, configure which conditions are included with/excluded from each target (e.g., your US target would be set to include "US Only" content and exclude "ZA Only" content). If you're dealing with imported values that will change often, I'm not sure how best to go about dealing with that.

Perhaps there are better/more comprehensive solutions, but that's all I'm aware of as a relative beginner.
