Locale and Currency
Learn how AutoCore separates locale, formatting, and marketplace currency from edition and market identity.
Locale and currency are related but distinct. Locale controls language and regional formatting; currency controls the monetary unit used by marketplace and financial records. Neither should be inferred from a city name or from a browser preference alone.
Ownership
The edition defines bundled locale defaults and a formatting locale. The primary market supplies the configured currency and market context. Installation setup persists the selected values and validates them against the resolved edition.
| Concern | Source-backed boundary |
|---|---|
| Default locale | AutoCore’s distributable default is English. Additional locale packs are an extension path, not an implicit Turkish fallback. |
| Formatting locale | Used for dates, numbers, and presentation conventions. |
| Marketplace currency | Stored with market and listing/payment records where applicable; it is not a universal USD assumption. |
| Provider currencies | Each provider and edition may support a narrower set; readiness requires external verification. |
Consequences
Price, tax, payment, and policy content must preserve the currency and locale context that was active when a record was created or accepted. A future market change is therefore a migration and review decision, not a theme toggle.
AutoCore does not claim simultaneous multi-currency marketplace operation in Commercial 1.0. Provider support for USD, EUR, or GBP in the current edition is a configuration capability, not proof that any provider is live or commercially approved.
