If you got a blank page, it means that you wrote something wrong in PHP. Check your PHP log to have more details of the error.

Its also because we are using Joomla articles to display products, where the currency module doesn't affect displayed price. And currency switcher is displayed just on the checkout page.

Anyway, I've created a small plug-in called: CurrencyFollowsLanguage which simply maps a system language tag to a hikashop currency ID.
