Configure your own language

Each language has its own unique grammar exceptions. You can create your own language.json file in the folder "i18n" and give writtenNumber support for it. I don't think the current scheme and logic cover all the cases, but may be cover some.

The following parameters have been used for the currently available languages:

Language parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Examples
`useLongScale`	boolean	Indicates if it uses long or short scale.	This differs the meaning of the words `billion`, `trillion` and so on.
`baseSeparator`	string	Separates the base cardinal numbers.	29 -> twenty`-`eight. Spanish uses the connector " y "
`unitSeparator`	string	Separates the units from the last base cardinal numbers.	1234 -> one thousand two hundred and thirty-four
`allSeparator`	string	Separates all cardinals, not only the last one.	1125 -> ألف ومائة وخمسة وعشرون
`base`	Object	Base cardinals numbers. Numbers that have unique names and are used to build others.
`alternativeBase`	Object	Alternative versions of base cardinals numbers for usage with specific units. These bases will be treated as an extension for the default `base`.	`"alternativeBase": { "feminine": {"1":"одна","2":"дві"} }`
`units`	Array	A list of number units (string or Object). Gives support to singular, dual an plural units. Check the Object parameters below.
`unitExceptions`	Object	Sometimes grammar exceptions affect the base cardinal joined to the unit. You can set specific exceptions to any base cardinal number.	Converting 1232000 in Spanish: Without Exception (Wrong): -> uno millón doscientos treinta y dos mil With Exception: -> un millón doscientos treinta y dos mil

Units parameters

A unit can be:

A simple string. e.g. "hundred"
An Object with multiple parameters:

Unit parameter	Description	e.g. of languages
`singular`	One element.	All
`dual`	Two elements.	`ar`
`plural`	Two or more elements. (or 3 or more)	All
`few`	Between 2 and 4 including.	`uk`
`useAlternativeBase`	Overwrites default `base`.	`uk`
`useBaseInstead`	Use the base cardinal number instead.	`es`,`hu`,`pt`
`useBaseException`	Specify with which unit (1 to 9) you don't want to use the base, and instead use the regular behavior.	`es`,`hu`,`pt`
`avoidPrefixException`	Units not using the base cardinal number prefix for unit 1.	`id`,`tr`,`it`
`avoidInNumberPlural`	Units not using the plural form with trailing numbers other than 0.	`fr`
`restrictedPlural`	Plural only for 3 to 10. Singular if >= 11.	`ar`
`useSingularEnding`	Use singular form for numbers ending with 1.	`uk`
`useFewEnding`	Use few form for numbers ending with 2, 3 or 4.	`uk`
`avoidEndingRules`	Plural form used instead of `useSingularEnding` and `useFewEnding`	`uk`
