# Quick Tour

## Internationalization

If you frequently use another currency, you can set your [Base Currency](/currency-converter/en-us/basic/base-currency.md).

If you prefer to use `,` instead of `.` as decimal separator, you can set your [Decimal Separator](/currency-converter/en-us/basic/decimal-separator.md).

If you use another language, you can switch your language preference.

## Accuracy of Conversions

For results containing decimals, Currency Converter retains four significant digits.

Currency Converter uses a free API provided by [exchangerate-api.com](https://www.exchangerate-api.com/) to obtain exchange rate information, which is updated daily.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.logthm.com/currency-converter/en-us/quick-tour.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
