In keeping with the simplicity of the app, I'd suggest a simple solution: in the import window, when choosing field mappings, offer some sort of "exchange rate" input that the user can manually input/adjust. Then the software multiplies all the imported transactions by that number, thus effectively bringing those transactions into matching the "home currency" of the user.

This would allow the user power over how often they want to adjust the exchange rate. If you're happy for it to be constant for the entire year, then import all of 2022 in one go. If you want a more accurate number then import each month individually with it's corresponding rate. Manually entered transactions are up to the user to adjust to the correct currency.
