Number to English Word Conversion Rails

Question

Hi,

Anybody knows the method to convert the numericals to english number words in rails?

I found some Ruby scripts to convert numbericals to english words for corresponding words.

Instead of writing a script in ruby, i feel that direct function is available.

Eg. 1 -> One, 2 -> Two.

Answer 1

No, you have to write a function yourself. The closest thing to what you want is number_to_human, but that does not convert 1 to One.
