Even though this program was originally written for use in the USA it currently has many features that make it suitable for use in other countries.
Change receipts into another language.
While this program itself will be persistently in English it is possible to change the labels on the receipts (ASSOCIATE, DESCRIPTION, PRICE, TOTAL, AMOUNT TENDERED, etc.) to anything or any language you want assuming that it will fit in the allowable space, use either the Latin or Greek character set, and your printer will properly print those characters.
No dollar signs.
Monetary amounts are not preceded by dollar signs, pound signs, euro signs or anything else. As long as your monetary system is decimal based, you can use this program.
Stock numbers.
You may use 12 digit UPC and 13 digit EAN-13 bar codes as your stock numbers. Or actually any number up to 14 digits.
Dates
Today's date may be displayed in any of four formats. 06-25-2001, 25-06-2001, JUN 25, 2001, 25 JUN 2001 are all the same date. You choose which one to display and print on receipts.
Dual tax rates.
This software will keep track of, and report, two different sales tax rates. For example a federal and provincial sales tax.
Rounding
The sales total may be rounded to the nearest .05. You may also choose to eliminate decimals. For example you may choose to display your monetary amounts as either 123.45 or 12345.
Multiple currencies.
You may set this program to accept up to 9 different currencies. Calculate your sales in EUROS, take a cash payment in DOLLARS, a check in POUNDS, credit payment in YEN and give change in PESOS, all in the same sale. The register will convert each currency according to that day's exchange rate. You decide which currencies to use.
Other languages?
Currently this program is persistently in English. However I have come up with an idea where the text of the program is in a separate file and anyone can change the text into whatever language they want. Don't hold you breath, this is going to take a long time.
