I'd add the variable information e g. ('fr', 'ascii', '%.2f', '%s %s'])  
to the individual dictionaries. Then all the relevant data is in one 
place. Then you need no if statement.

I also assume that only one dictionary will be selected. Then you don't 
need the for loop.

x = [d for d in currencies if d['is_selected'] == True][0]

This could be a great application for the recently discussed 
namedtuples, to be used in lieu of the dictionaries.
