missing currency

Hello,
When I go to tools/options/linguistic parameters/languages I can find a list of currency to choose as default. Unfortunately I can't find my currency the CFA franc which ISO 4217 code is XOF. It is used in 9 west African countries. How can it be added to the list?

The XAF is in the list but this is different from the XOF used in Ivory cost, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Niger, Mali and Guinea-Bissau members of the West African Economy and Monetary Union (UEMOA).

Hi David,

When I go to tools/options/linguistic parameters/languages I can
find a list of currency to choose as default. Unfortunately I can't
find my currency the CFA franc which ISO 4217 code is XOF. It is
used in 9 west African countries. How can it be added to the list?

That list is generated from the <Currency> elements in the available
locale data files. Currently the only way to extend the list is to add
a locale data file for a locale (language_country) in which that
currency is used. See
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide/How_To_Submit_New_Locale_Data

The XAF is in the list but this is different from the XOF used in
Ivory cost, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Niger, Mali and
Guinea-Bissau members of the West African Economy and Monetary Union
(UEMOA).

I suggest you submit a locale data file for the most used locale (or the
locale you're most interested in, probably Mòoré in Burkina Faso, so
'mos-BF' :wink:
