osCommerce shopping cart - Currency, Language & Tax Setup

To change the languages and currencies, you will need to visit the Localization section. The currencies that are included in the standard installation will be listed, with the US Dollar being the default one.

You can define other currencies as well, according to your preference. Please note that if more than one currency is used, you will need to specify values for the additional ones, relative to the default one (the default currency value should be 1, and all other currency values are relative to it, so that prices are calculated correctly).

osCommerce supports English, German & Spanish as standard, if you wish to add additional languages they can be downloaded from the osCommerce site http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions where you will also find project add-ons, feature updates, language packs, and extended modules. The language packs include instructions on how to set the new language up.
