    I’m pleased to announce the release of the LocalCurrency plugin.

    LocalCurrency shows currency values to readers in their local currency (in brackets after the original value). For example: If the site’s currency is Chinese yuan and the post contains 10 yuan, a user from Australia will see 10 yuan (AUD$1.53), while a user from US will see 10 yuan (USD$1.39).

    Features include:

    • Determines the reader’s country via IP address
    • Obtains current exchange rate from Yahoo! Finance
    • Uses ‘AJAX’ techniques so the call to Yahoo! Finance does not affect page load times
    • Does not do anything if there is no currency value in the post
    • Allows user to change their currency via a selection box

    For more information, please see the LocalCurrency release announcement and the plugin home page.
