Hi,
In my app, the user can enter certain tags into their
text in a text view that will, upon export, be
converted into sequential numbers spelled out as
words.
For instance, if the user typed:
"<$w> and <$w> and <$w>"
the exported output would be:
"one and two and three"
This is done using a number formatter with
NSNumberFormatterSpellOutStyle, along the following
lines:
// Spelled out (lowercase)
numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter
setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
[numberFormatter
setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterSpellOutStyle];
autoNumber = 1;
[returnStr replaceCharactersInRange:range
withString:[[numberFormatter
stringFromNumber:[NSNumber
numberWithInt:autoNumber++]] lowercaseString]];
I had assumed that the formatter would automatically
localize the spelling of the numbers to the system's
default language, but some non-English users are
telling me that they are still getting "one, two,
three" etc when they should be getting "ein, zwei" or
"un, deux" etc.
So, does anybody out there know how to localize
NSNumberFormatterSpellOutStyle?
Thanks,
Keith
