Yahoo omits critical secondary currency label, leading users to assume incorrect currency
Hello, I previously left a comment pointing out incorrect currency labels on many foreign equities. Yahoo responded to my comment, implying that Yahoo's data providers are providing the incorrect currency label, and that Yahoo is simply posting what is provided to them. Upon further review, I have determined that the problem is actually that Yahoo is omitting the currency label for financial statements altogether, while only providing the currency label for the currency that the stock trades in. The problem with this approach is that these two currencies are often different. By only providing the currency label for the stock, while omitting the currency label for the financial statements, the user is lead to assume that the stock's currency label applies to both the stock information and the financial statements, when in fact they are different currencies. Is there any way you can simply provide the currency label for both? You already provide two separate currency labels on the "Historical Data" tab, why not provide both labels on the Financials tab as well?
For reference, the two examples I provided are:

There are many more.
