Magento Currency Extensio

I have just installed an extension on a Magento store which does currency switching by IP address. So if there is a vistor from the United States the currency changes to US dollars. The business is based in Australia so are there any SEO implications with this? The extension has the ability to be disabled for specified user agents eg Googlebot. Should implement this?

Suraj Gadage: +Marty Eigner ;from an SEO standpoint I don't think it would be a problem (based on my experience) as long as its not completely translating the webpage content. Also, one suggestion, let user decide the currency (without automatic redirection), regardless of their location or browser settings. ;
