Viewing Prices in a different Currency (for example "Euros" instead of "UK Pounds")

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/769/watch?language=fr&locale=FR
This shows information about the 1990 film Goodfellas.
The requested Language is fr and the requested Locale is FR.
The page correctly shows FR (at the top) and France (on the right).
But the prices shown are all in UK Pounds (for example £2.99 and £7.99)
How do I tell the “/watch” request (shown above) that I would like to see the prices in Euros (the currency for France) , not UK Pounds?

This URL correctly shows details about the 1979 film Alien, and these details are correctly shown (as requested) in Spanish.
But when I click "Watch Now", the next page shows me prices in UK Pounds (for example £3.99 to rent the film on Apple TV), not Euros (for locale ES)
Is there perhaps another query parameter (in addition to language=es&locale=ES) I should specify to get the currency in Euros instead of UK Pounds?

The locale/translation data that gets used is attached to the language of your account. It looks like you have your account set to
en-GB.I'll have to look at how easy it would be to default the locale to the country being requested instead.
