This error means that you haven't defined the locale.
I'm not sure about setting it from a scratch variable or the userdb, but
changing locales (both languages and currency) works for me this
way: set a new locale in catalog.cfg (as per the en_US model), and
add these to locale.asc (both tab separated): eg,
code en_GB nz_NZ eu_EU ru_RU
PriceDivide 1 .4 .6 (etc for each defined locale)
Then, where you want to change locale, you can invoke it like so:
[page process/locale/ru_RU/currency/en_GB/page/index]Russian - USD[/page]
You can also do this on, say, the index page (with random products), to
get both the chosen currency and a converted one (eg, Euros):
[loc]Our Price[/loc]:[loop-price] ( [setlocale currency=eu_EU][price [loop-code]] )
This all works well for languages and currencies. There is a small problem
though with the "quick basket" I have on each results page, as this shows
the prices in Euros instead of the chosen currency - hmm..
This may or may not do what you want. It's also quite possible that
if you remove the 'persist=1' then your changes may take effect.
