How to change Currency symbol in magento ?

Hello Everyone,

                 Today I’m going to tell you how to change Currency symbol in magento.In simple words, This tutorial will tell to change the currency symbol of dollar (from $ to Rs). 

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 en.xml file.

- Open lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml

- Find the following :-

<currency type="USD">

    <displayName>US Dollar</displayName>

    <displayName count="one">US dollar</displayName>

    <displayName count="other">US dollars</displayName>

    <symbol>$</symbol>

</currency>

- Change

<symbol>$</symbol>

-to

<symbol>Rs</symbol>

But wait, you are still not done. The most important thing is still left. - Clear the Cache. - Go to System –> Cache Management - Refreh Cache. - If you have not enabled the Cache OR if it didn’t work even after refreshing the cache, then - delete the cache folder present inside var (var/cache)
