I had to change the currency symbol of Nepalese Rupee (from Nrs to Rs). By default, the currency symbol for Nepalese Rupee is Nrs.

For this, you need to edit lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml

Well, the xml file to edit depends upon your locale settings. My locale is set to English (United States). So, I will have to change en.xml file.

You can change your locale setting from
Admin Panel –> System –> Configuration –> GENERAL –> General –> Locale options –> Locale

If your locale is Japanese (Japan), you need to change lib/Zend/Locale/Data/ja.xml

If your locale is Hindi (India), you need to change lib/Zend/Locale/Data/ne.xml

It’s similar for other locale settings. I have locale setting as English, so I will be editing lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml file.

Here is the step-by-step guide:

– Open lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml

– Find the following :-

<currency type="NPR"> <displayName>Nepalese Rupee</displayName> <displayName count="one">Nepalese rupee</displayName> <displayName count="other">Nepalese rupees</displayName> <symbol>Nrs</symbol> </currency>

1 2 3 4 5 6

<currency type="NPR">         <displayName>Nepalese Rupee</displayName>         <displayName count="one">Nepalese rupee</displayName>         <displayName count="other">Nepalese rupees</displayName>         <symbol>Nrs</symbol>     </currency>

– Change

<symbol>Nrs</symbol>

1	<symbol>Nrs</symbol>

to

<symbol>Rs</symbol>

1	<symbol>Rs</symbol>

– Refresh Cache (System –> Cache Management)

That’s all.

Hope this helps. Thanks.
