Locale Questions


Recommended Posts

Since the AutoIt forums have such an international diversity, I think it's as good a place as any to start.

If your computer is not set up to use English formats for currency then I could use some input here.

I've added _Number_FormatAsCurrency() to my number.au3 file which as far as I know works for any locale returning a numeric value formatted as currency in the users currency format.

Now I want to do a _Number_CurrencyToString() function and I need to know how certain values would be written, for example on a cheque (feel free to send me a sample). Here we would write $10.50 as Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents How would the equivalent value be written in other countries? I would really like to give this function an international scope but I'm not sure how to do it. I can make it work for English only at the moment.

I need examples for things like Euros, Pesos etc.

I will also need to know what is shown in your registry for the sCurrency value at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Or you could just export that whole key and send me a copy and then I'll pick out what may be important by checking it against mine.

I know that this is going to get tricky but I'll have a go at it anyway. If it fails then I'll just put out a Dollars only version.

199,95 (It's a comma, not a dot)

But can't you just do a RegRead in your script?

I'm already reading the registry. What I needed was the text version of what you posted. I'm not wide awake yet and I don't have my glasses on but that looks like the Euro symbol. How would 199,95 be written in text?

Thanks @Bert.

That's the standard English file so $ would be as Dollars and I assume you use Cents for the decimal value therefore making what I have usable. It's the (to me) foreign versions that are going to give me trouble. The idea is to create a function which would take a given currency value and convert that to the equivalent text for use in forms, letters @etc.

I'm beginning to think that all I will get is an English version but I'll see how much more input I get.

Thanks @monoceres. I was hoping to find more info in there but no such luck. Does "kr" mean Krona? And how would you write the text version of a given kr value?

See my above post.

Thanks. You posted that while I was posting. That's what I mean. I also just realized that this is going to become a bigger pain than I first thought. In your example I'm thinking that I would have to convert the figures 100 to One Hundred and 50 to Fifty and then do a translation or would you not actually write it that way.

example

"<One hundred> kronor och <fifty> öre" with the values inside the <> translated from English. If that were in dollars we would write it out as One hundred dollars and fifty cents.

Ah I see, 100.50 kr is "Hundra kronor och femtio öre" in Sweden, I can write a func that would translate it if you like.

That would be great!! Much more than I was looking for. I might not be able to achieve for regionalization but with the help of others I should be able to get more than just English.

Get familiar with GetCurrencyFormat, GetNumberFormat and other API functions.

I already have those. It's the text conversion using AutoIt that is going to be tricky. Like I said, it works in English, it's the regionalization that will be the problem for me. Edited by GEOSoft

you mean that you want all numbers written in words?

like 1 = een

2= twee ?

It looks like that's what I'm going to need in order to continue. I'm thinking of a multi dim array to hold the values.

$DutchHigh[1] = "honderd"; 1 hundred, but in dutch you don't say the "1", just "hundred"
$DutchHigh[2] = "duizend"; 1 thousand, same story as with hundred
$DutchHigh[3] = "miljoen"; 1 million, " "
$DutchHigh[4] = "miljard"; 1 billion, " "

; "and" = "en"

$OrderMidAndLow = $DutchLow[n] & "en" & $DutchMid[n]; Not first the high number and than the low one, like english.

$OrderHighAndLow = $DutchHigh[n] & " en " & $DutchLow[n]

$OrderHighAndMidAndLow = $DutchHigh[n] & $DutchLow[n] & "en" & $DutchMid[n]

example:

1024 = one thousand and four = "duizend en vier" ; here are spaces

64 = sixty-four = "vierenzestig" ; and here not

8 = eight = "acht"

and if a number is 10,20,30,40,etc , you don't say 'twenty and zero', but just 'twenty'
