How to rename currency name?

Question

how can I change "AED - United Arab Emirates Dirham" to "AED - UAE Dirham" in Luma currency switcher?

I created en_US.csv file in my custom theme > i18n folder and added "united Arab Emirates" in the 1st column and "UAE" in the 2nd column. But still not working.

Override currency.phtml file in your theme

app/design/frontend/{vendore}/{theme}/Magento_Directory/templates/currency.phtml

Change line number 35

<?= $block->escapeHtml($_code) ?> - <?= $block->escapeHtml($_name) ?>

to

<?= __($block->escapeHtml($_code)) ?> - <?= __($block->escapeHtml($_name)) ?>

Create app/design/frontend/{vendore}/{theme}/i18n/en_US.csv file and write below code

"United Arab Emirates Dirham","UAE Dirham"

Change line number 28

<?= $block->escapeHtml($currentCurrencyCode) ?> - <?= @$block->escapeHtml($currencies[$currentCurrencyCode]) ?>

to

<?= __($block->escapeHtml($currentCurrencyCode)) ?> - <?= __(@$block->escapeHtml($currencies[$currentCurrencyCode])) ?>

I hope it's useful for you.
