NumberWords

It is not realistic to expect a single maintainer to be sufficiently polyglottous to be able to manage a system for writing numbers as words in a variety of languages. Furthermore, the rules in various languages vary to such an extent that there is little use in attempting to impose a single framework (beyond a collection of utilities).

This gem provides a central point into which locale-specific number-to-word gems can hook.

The gems for the locales you support should depend on this gem, so under normal circumstances once you've installed those, this is installed also. For example, if you add

gem 'number_words_fr'

to your Gemfile, you'll have this gem too.

require 'number_words/core_ext'

I18n.locale = :fr
123.to_words  # => "cent vingt-trois"

If you don't want to monkey-patch Integer, you can do this instead:

I18n.locale = :fr
NumberWords.int_to_words 123  # => "cent vingt-trois"

number_words/core_ext isn't required by default

• gem 'number_words_fr' # French -> http://github.com/conanite/number_words_fr
• gem 'number_words_en' # English (using short-scale billions) -> http://github.com/conanite/number_words_en

1. Fork it ( http://github.com/conanite/number_words/fork )
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

1. if you want to contribute a locale, make your own gem that plugs into this thus:

   class RussianNumberWords
     def int_to_words i, options={}
       # ur code here
     end
   end
   
   NumberWords.add_handler :ru, RussianNumberWords.new

2. publish the gem

3. let me know and I'll add a link here under 'available locales'
