format_currency and symbol position

I'm trying to display a spanish price. Spanish prices have the currency symbol AFTER the number, but Symfony insists in placing it before...

Is there any way to move it after the number?

Thanks!

The ICU/CLDR that is used by symfony to determine the position of the currency symbol is wrong for the es_ES culture.

You need to patch the /lib/vend/symfony/i18n/data/es.dat file

Search for this string 

s:12:"¤ #,##0.00"

and change it for this other

s:12:"#,##0.00 ¤"

It seems to be a bug. It will be solved probably in the next version.

You need to pass the format_currency function the culture parameter:

<?php echo format_currency('30.00', '€', 'es_ES'); ?>

will produce:

30.00€

Here, 'es_ES' is your country and language combination. If you are unfamiliar with this then read up on symfony and cultures.
