Hi,

LibreOffice 6.1 will support “spell out” numbering styles of OOXML (One,
Two...; First, Second..., 1st, 2nd...),
as you can see in the following screen cast (only English, French and
German examples):

My questions to the native language speakers:

1. Are these numbers correct in your language?

You can check here, too: https://numbertext.github.io/
index.html#testimonials

2. Do we need to change the default format etc. according to the normal
usage of your country/language variant?

For example, in the recent implementation, British English and American
English differ with the “and”

101 -> “One hundred and one”: en-AU, en-GB, en-IE, en-NZ
101 -> “One hundred one”: en-US etc.

3. Is it enough to support only a single gender in Spanish etc. languages
to cover common outline and page number usage in publishing?

Book/Part/Chapter/Section/Page/Paragraph One, or simply One (normal usage
in English outline numbering)
First Book/Part/Chapter/Section/Page/Paragraph (less common in English, but
default numbering styles cover this, too)

Note: there is a plan to use similar spell out formats in currency and date
formats of Writer, typical in contracts and invoices in several
languages. These formats are only supported in Calc yet by the NUMBERTEXT
Calc extension (or also in Writer macros via the new
com.sun.star.linguistic2.NumberText
service).

Best regards,
László

P.S: A recent question (comes from Rene Engelhard) for Hebrew contributors:

Is the Hebrew correct in the next line of resource file of the Numbertext
Calc extension:

<name lang="he">NUMBERTEXT() וMONEYTEXT() פונקציות גליון Calc</name>

I'm thinking about this for last two days and have some concerns. Chapters are spelled out like First, Second and so on, but Croatian has three genders and masculinum should be used in Calc when turning spelling out numbers, but in Writer - for chapter numbers - neutrum makes more sense but I doubt default format support both.

Current version of Croatian Numbertext is at

    https://github.com/krunose/hr-numbertext

and any advice would be much appreciated. Didn't include this to Numbertext.org as decimal number should be done first, but I guess this whole spell out thing might speed things up...

Thanks,
Kruno
