Hi @Gurpreet Singh , Based on your description, I would like to know whether this is a translation function in the website you developed. If this is the case, is the content of the translated text correct? Is there an error message in the developer tools?

Hi @Gurpreet Singh , I checked the issue video you provided and tried to register on this website, but it failed (the mailbox cannot receive verification emails). And I found that you are using the built-in translation function in the Microsoft Edge browser. I think you could send feedback to the relevant team about this issue. Just press Shift+Alt+I in Edge to edit the content of this issue and send it.

This issue is still affecting English to French translation in the latest version of Edge as of 2022-11-21.

Here is a publicly accessible repro of the issue (happens if you translate the page to French):

See also this issue: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/213243/edge-built-in-translation-converting-currency-to-p.html

And I created a publicly accessible repro:

Install French as the only language in Microsoft Edge.

Visit https://www.webnames.ca/Microsoft-Edge-currency-translation-issue.html

Click the Translate button and select French

Notice that the "$" has been translated to "$US" even though the currency in the HTML is not specified as USD/USA. It could be Canadian, Australian, or one of many other currencies that are totally separate from USD.
