Apple is making some changes to the way customers are charged for books in several South American and European countries around the world, switching to local currencies for purchases in Chile, Colombia, Peru, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Romania.

Apple's email says the company will do a one-time automatic conversion using the foreign exchange rate that is in effect at the time that content is processed in anticipation of the currency conversion.

Developers who have books in the store in the above listed countries will be paid in local currency and will be able to change the pricing of their content once the currency change is completed.

Come on, MacRumors. It's Colombia not Columbia. Colombians have an active campaign trying to educate everyone about the correct spelling. It's a very sensitive subject for them. Your sourcing even has it correct.

My wife is Colombian, so I kinda know a little about these things. Can you please fix the article?
