I'm trying to convert numbers in words.
select to_char(to_date(:number,'j'),'jsp') from dual;
SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (24834, 'j'), 'jsp') FROM DUAL;
//Output: twenty-four thousand eight hundred thirty-four
But the problem is that I need convert numbers in other language than English. Maybe you have any ideas how to do this?
I need convert into Latvian language.
This is a cool trick (the jsp format to take a Julian and SPell it out). I found an Ask Tom article that gives more detail. But basically the jsp format will only work on English, but you can wrap it in a function and translate the english to another language.
For example, Tom's spell_number function is as follows:
create or replace
function spell_number( p_number in number )
return varchar2
as
type myArray is table of varchar2(255);
l_str myArray := myArray( '',
' thousand ', ' million ',
' billion ', ' trillion ',
' quadrillion ', ' quintillion ',
' sextillion ', ' septillion ',
' octillion ', ' nonillion ',
' decillion ', ' undecillion ',
' duodecillion ' );
l_num varchar2(50) default trunc( p_number );
l_return varchar2(4000);
begin
for i in 1 .. l_str.count
loop
exit when l_num is null;
if ( substr(l_num, length(l_num)-2, 3) <> 0 )
then
l_return := to_char(
to_date(
substr(l_num, length(l_num)-2, 3),
'J' ),
'Jsp' ) || l_str(i) || l_return;
end if;
l_num := substr( l_num, 1, length(l_num)-3 );
end loop;
return l_return;
end;

And a version for french (apparently) just uses spell_number with some french translations:
create or replace
function spell_number_french( p_number in number )
return varchar2
as
begin
return replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace( replace( replace( replace( replace(
replace(
lower( spell_number( p_number ))

Do something similar to the language of your choice. And see that Ask Tom link for much more detailed discussion.
