Convert numbers to English words

by tomaszmazur —

I’ve created rails plugin that converts numbers (integers) to its textual presentation in English or Polish. You can find it here: http://github.com/tomaszmazur/verbal/tree/master

Examples of usage:

NOTE: It’s American English numbering system http://www.mazes.com/AmericanNumberingSystem.html

Verbal::English::Numbers.to_words(123_456_789) => “one hundred twenty-three million four hundred fifty-six thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine”

Verbal::Polish::Numbers.to_words(123_456_789) => “sto dwadzieścia trzy miliony czterysta pięćdziesiąt sześć tysiecy siedemset osiemdziesiąt dziewięć”

P.S. I am looking for collaborators. I want add support for more languages. Feedback also appreciated (bugs, ideas, etc…)

Comments

Maybe call it acts_as_419scam?

mtkd: do you insinuate something?

there is no such library in Ruby like: http://pear.php.net/package/Numbers_Words in PHP.

Currently I work on financial app (conversion of currencies to text representation is a must), so tell me ‘mtkd’ what’s wrong with sharing my work with Ruby community?

@tomasmazur - Sounds like it was just a friendly joke ;)

That’s really cool, I will contribute maybe with a german variant, if my time allows it.
