Numeral/Text Conversion

This module allows you to convert numerals between their numeric and textual representation in various languages. Consequently, you can also convert between the textual representations in various languages.

Input popup gives the module a hint what is being analyzed - which can be either a decimal number or a textual representation of a numeral in one of the supported languages. Possible entries are:

• Automatic This option allows the user to enter any numeral string and let the system figure out the language itself. As this happens by trying all parsers available, which is a quite expensive operation.

• <Supported language> The (localised) name of the supported language, as hint for parsing. These entries present give an overview about the languages that are supported for analysis (input). No other numeral parser is used than the one you choose this way.

If a decimal number is entered, it will be converted into text choosen in the Output popup.

Output popup enable user to choose the language of the output. Possible entries are:

• Number The desired output is a simple arabic number.

• <Supported language> The (localised) name of the supported language, as hint for generation. These entries also show the range of supported languages.

Possible conversion ways are from number to text, from text to number and from text to text.

Examples

Enter the string "siebenundachtzig" in the input field and choose "german" or "auto" for the input popup. Choose "number" in the output popup. After pressing the submit button you should have "87" in the output field.

Restrictions

Currently is possible to convert cardinal numbers only.

Supported ranges for number to text conversion are displayed after user output language selection. Supported conversion range can differ from language to language.
