Hi,

I was just looking at the products available on the openSUSE shop:
http://shop.opensuse.org/shop-eu.html and I was surprised to find that
the only currency the prices are given in is Euros, this would put me
off of buying from this site as I wouldn't know how much I was
spending and I'm sure others would have similar concerns.

I think every other online shop I have seen/used has had at least an
approximate reference in other currencies, which can be selected by
the user, a good example of this is www.yesasia.com, who make a point
of telling the customer their own currency is there for reference only
and isn't the exact price.

This feature would be very simple to implement, and I believe it would
be a huge benefit to the openSUSE shop. There could be a simple lookup
of Euros to a range of popular currencies, and based on the currency
the user has selected (which could be stored in a cookie) a simple
calculation could be done and the approximate price could be
displayed, in brackets alongside the actual price, which would still
be in Euros.

P.S. sorry if I am sending this to the wrong people, but I wasn't sure
where to send it.
