The whisper message comes from api/UpgradeToCorporate? so this needs to be fixed internally.

We also need to fix GenericFeaturesView because it uses workspace.upgrade.commonFeatures.benefits.note which has a static price and the user's local currency will not be displayed.

App/src/languages/en.ts

Line 4385 in cd43345

note: 'The Control plan starts at $9 per active member per month.',

App/src/pages/workspace/upgrade/GenericFeaturesView.tsx

Line 54 in cd43345

{translate('workspace.upgrade.commonFeatures.benefits.note')}{' '}

Let's follow up on this with PR.

What do you think?

Sounds good. @Tony-MK I'll assign you to work on the frontend portion.

The whisper message comes from api/UpgradeToCorporate? so this needs to be fixed internally.

I can handle this part. For what it's worth there is already some logic in that API command to account for the user's currency, but it is only relying on the billing card's currency, if present, before falling back to USD. I will update it to match the frontend logic of:

App/src/hooks/usePreferredCurrency.ts

Lines 9 to 16 in cd43345

	/**
	* Get user's preferred currency in the following order:
	*
	* 1. Payment card currency
	* 2. User's local currency (if it's a valid payment card currency)
	* 3. USD (default currency)
	*
	*/
