Hello,
I am redeveloping a website for one of my clients, who currently use Event Espresso 3, and are considering renewing / upgrading to EE4.
They have a multi language website, serving different countries, so wish to be able to display prices in local currencies and language for each country.
Is there a way to achieve this with EE?
I have done some research on your forums, and it appears that multiple currencies per event is not currently possible, but is scheduled for a future release – do you have a time estimate for when this might be?
I also have seen that WPML is not supported by EE, so in this case, will it be possible to translate event posts created with EE?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Ed

Hello Ed,
What you have read is true, we don’t have support for WPML or multiple currencies. However, the gateways should display the currency for the individual attendees. So, while the currency may display in USD on the site, it will change to the currency where the customer is located. Does that make sense?
Regarding translations, we use GlotPress to translate the plugin, but multiple languages on one EE installation is not supported. You will need different installations for each language.

Hi Jonathan
Thanks for your quick response.
Regarding the currency payments, if it’s the case that a customer will be charged in his local currency by default by the payment gateway, do you think we’d be able to work around the currency display by adding some custom front-end Javascript to ‘convert’ prices rendered to the page in USD by EE into the local currency ‘on the fly’ on page load? Do you think this would work in principle? The main aim is to give visitors a ‘local’ feeling – part of which involves seeing prices in their own currency.
For the multilanguage issue – what exactly do you mean by seperate installation per language? A seperate entire WordPress site installation for each language would not really be an option. How about this – if all the event ‘content’ (descriptions etc) etc are managed by our own custom ‘events’ post type (translable) could mo / po files be used to translate the remaining EE strings etc for the booking / checkout stages? Or is there also dynamic EE content that would need to be translated?
Let me know if you have any suggestions for how to work around these issues.
Best
Ed

Hi Peter,
Sounds great! If you or your developer see anywhere in the core plugin where you can use some filter hooks that will help make this happen, pull requests are always welcome:
