and probably the majority of Europe-based translators with English as one of their language:
EUR, GBP, USD.
I don't offer any other currencies as I'm sure that it isn't expecting too much of my clients to ask them to use one of those. I also give clients based in the UK, France and Spain the possibility of making a local bank transfer - that's been helpful to more than one in the past as banks often don't allow you to kick off international transfers via the Internet.

USD, EU, GBP, AUD and CLP (Chilean peso, my local currency).
Though in practice, I get about 60% of my income in USD, 30% in CLP, and the remaining 10% is divided between the odd jobs in EU, GBP and AUD and never leaves my Paypal balance unless it's to buy something on e-bay or The Book Depository.
Greetings!

USD - EUR - GBP - DKK
I offer to receive payment in the 4 currencies as a service to my clients, but I am not really sure how much it matters to them.

According to Brazilan law, I can only receive in BRL, the local currency. The banks here are prepared to convert USD, EUR, and GBP immediately, and without any hassle.
Any other currency will cause me a lot of trouble here.
Exatamente.
In Brazil, no matter what currency the client will use to pay, it will always be our currency at the end (the end is my bank account).
So, I accept all currencies. They will be converted anyway.

Usually USD, GBP or EUR, depending on the location of my clients or their preference.
SGD for clients based in Singapore.
CNY/RMB for clients based in China.
HKD for clients in Hong Kong, although some clients there pay in USD, too.
AUD for clients based in Australia.
Sometimes I also deal with CAD for clients based in Canada.

I'd say that I can transact in any major currency in the world if needed. I first check the trend over the recent 1 or 2 years and then work out a worst-case exchange rate for me to use in converting (from my local currency, i.e. SGD) and quoting the client. ▲ Collapse

I prefer payment in USD because otherwise there are fees, but of course I will accept anything that PayPal converts from if I have to.
