Demonstration: Cardinal Numbers
As an early demonstration of the translation system, this page allows numbers to be translated into a variety of different languages.

Notes:
  1. For English, Portuguese and Norwegian read British English, European Portuguese and Bokmål.
  2. Currently the smallest supported number is 0 and the largest (in most but not all cases) is 999,999,999,999,999 (1015-1).
  3. Numbers inflect in some languages according to what is being counted. Support for such inflection is currently patchy, and this demonstration does not asttempt to illustrate it. What should appear is the 'default' form of the number, that is, the one that would be used for counting in the abstract.
  4. There are several languages where forms such as 'eleven hundred' are preferable to 'one thousand one hundred'. The ability to do this has only recently been implemented and the migration is not fully complete.
  5. I intend to revisit the question of whether it is preferable, in a given language, to say 'one hundred', 'a hundred' or just 'hundred'. My belief is that the forms currently generated are acceptable, but not necessarily optimal or consistent. I would be grateful for external input on this point.
  6. The addition of commas may be desirable in some languages, but this nas not yet been implememented.
  7. More languages will follow. Please note, however, that I will not necessarily be able to fully support such a large number of languages as I expand into other areas of vocabulary.
  8. Please report any errors that you find. Many of these languages have been implemented according to incomplete, ambiguous or contradictory grammatical descriptions, and I would be very surprised if no errors have been made.
