Display the currency symbol before or after the amount, depending on language #41

In many languages, the currency symbol or the ISO code follow the amount, not precede it, i.e. 23,1 € or 1$, more information here. Additionally, Croatian has a whitespace before the symbol. Would it be possible to implement this on the main screen, the same way decimal point and separator are handled in the translation?

Thanks for bringing this up. Definitely something I can imagine. Will try it out a bit how it feels.

Update: Has been quite some work. Much more than anticipated, to be honest.
But much worth the effort.

Changes will be included in the next release.

The current implementation doesn't rely on translators for grouping and decimal separators any more. Both information just like the position of the symbol is derived by platform methods, now.
