[SLUG] Locale settings in Debian

[Heracles]

Maybe I need to ask this on the Debian list BUT:
I have set my system to Australian English and it insists on converting
everything in Google Chrome to euros! How do I change it to display
Australian Dollars?

You haven't set up your keyboard with a European mapping by any chance? If
so, this might solve the problem for you:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Also, you might want to try launching from the command line and for a
specific locale and see if it fixes anything:

LANG=en_AU.utf8 google-chrome

If that fixes it, then also check your locale settings in your environment
(window manager et al).

HTH.

Thanks James, but it turned out that Chrome somehow setup a currency
conversion extension. Once I deactivated and removed it all works as
expected.
