Currency: CurrentLocaleCurrency. end{document} TeX example: input tex-locale Today: CurrentLocaleShortDate. Currency: CurrentLocaleCurrency. ye Note that texosquery requires the Java Runtime Environment. See the texosquery documentation for setup instructions. If you can't use TeX's piped shell escape, see the tex-locale documentation for an alternative method. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tex-locale The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/tex-locale/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
