Chrome translates currency (DKK to £) without converting the numbers

Reported by riis...@gmail.com, Feb 24 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.71 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to a page where there are listed currency.
2. Translate the page
3. See that 558 DKK get translated to £558 (Aprox. wrong by a factor of 10)

What is the expected behavior?
That it either keeps the DKK or converts the ammount to the selected language

What went wrong?
I was visiting a danish page and happened to press 'translate page to English' and didn't bother to change it. I was were happy when I saw I had £558 to spend. Got suspicious and translated the page back to Danish. Was disappointed to see that it was only DKK 558 (~10 times less valuable)  

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.71  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Not sure. Doesn't matter
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

This could potentially steer a lot of people wery wrong when visiting pages that they translate

Btw. I wrote wrong. IT isnøt a problem with currency. It is everywhere prices are listed with the currency name (DKK, £ and so on)

Hmm.. After poking around I can see that it is NOT all pages. It is just the one I visited:

As you can see it is Expedia and I suspect you need to be logged in in order to reproduce it.

I have attached 2 images of the before and after translation

Actually some of the prices also exibit this behaviour if you go to:

Remove the Localization label because this should not be a localization issue.

Actually, this is not a Chrome issue, but a issue of Google Translate that Chrome Translate relies on.

Can you try https://translate.google.com/ and reports feedback from a link at the right-bottom corner if it can not translate correctly?
