“Conversion” in Japanese is 換算 (kansan).

Describes recalculating an amount or value so that it is expressed in a different unit or on a different basis.

海外の価格は日本円への換算が必要です。kai gai no ka kaku wa nihon en e no kan san ga hitsu yō de su

Prices from overseas need to be converted into Japanese yen.

Unlike exchange, conversion calculates an equivalent value, so 換算 (kansan) can describe changing yen into a dollar amount even when no money changes hands.
