--- Comment #4 from Ming Hua <[email protected]> --- I don't use [NatNumX] formatting myself (unlike Kevin who I assume uses [NatNum5] daily at his work), so I haven't give this issue much thought. The following are just my two cents from some tangentially related angles: First, for [NatNum5], the so called "Chinese uppercase" formatting widely used in finance and accounting, LO Calc seems to give satisfactory results. The [NatNum4] formatting looks like just a simple character-to-character replacement of [NatNum5], and therefore deviates from many people's accustomed convention. The examples of 10-19 given by Kevin are the more obvious ones. However I personally disagree with Kevin that 10-19 are the only numbers that [NatNum4/5] deviates from people's oral conventions. I read 3015 as "三千零十五" myself instead of the "叁仟零壹拾伍／三千零一十五" produced by [NatNum4/5] formatting. Similarly for 30015 and 300150000, I read them as "三万零十五" and "三亿零十五万". It would be great if there are some national or industrial standard (I didn't check) for this. Second, the number range custom field feature [1], which I do use, gives "十五" for 15 "correctly". This feature is based on the libnumbertext library [2]. 1. Menu "Insert > Field > More Fields...", "Variables" tab, "Number range" type, "One, Two, Three, ..." format, fill the desired number in "Value" field, press "Insert" button. 2. https://github.com/Numbertext/libnumbertext -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
