Eric PoulinDefinitely Firefox is superior. I just tried the change and the currency immedaite changed to British Pounds (after a reload of CalendarBudget. I used en-GB, rather than en-UK. Try the GB one…
I can adjust CalendarBudget so it also handles en-UK also.

Currency conversion is a crucial feature for users managing finances across different currencies. In CalendarBudget, this functionality allows users to input expenses in various currencies and automatically convert them to their primary currency for accurate budgeting.
This feature is particularly beneficial for users who travel frequently or conduct business internationally. By setting regional preferences, users can ensure that their budget reflects real-time exchange rates, improving financial tracking and decision-making.
Setting up regional settings in CalendarBudget is essential for effective currency management. Users can easily navigate to the settings menu, where they can select their primary currency and adjust regional preferences to match their financial activities.
This customization helps ensure that all transactions are recorded accurately, taking into account local currencies and exchange rates. For example, a user in the UK can set their default currency to GBP while still managing expenses in EUR or USD, streamlining their budgeting process.
Managing foreign currencies can present several challenges for users of budgeting tools like CalendarBudget. Issues such as fluctuating exchange rates and miscalculations can lead to discrepancies in financial records.
To mitigate these challenges, users are encouraged to regularly update their currency settings and review their transaction history. By staying informed about current exchange rates and understanding how they impact their budget, users can maintain more accurate financial oversight.
Effective budgeting with multiple currencies requires a strategic approach. Users should keep track of their spending habits in different currencies and utilize CalendarBudget's features to categorize and analyze these expenses.
Additionally, setting clear financial goals and regularly reviewing budget performance can help users stay on track. For instance, incorporating alerts for significant currency fluctuations can prompt users to adjust their budgets proactively, ensuring they remain aligned with their financial objectives.
