Dear All,

When working with German written out numbers I figured, that in order to get 
what I want (the numeric value of a written number) I need to either hard code 
every single number name and use Wordtable or I need to work with the string. 
However, this made me thinking that this would probably be better done in a 
Language Extension. Unfortunately I am not sure how these work and how I can 
include them in my project. Also the manual did not really help me there 
(https://uima.apache.org/d/ruta-current/tools.ruta.book.html#ugr.tools.ruta.language.extensions).

Further I was wondering if there are any readily available extensions that can 
be used, e.g. to convert a string of number words into actual numbers (or 
replacing words on a dictionary basis, such as “one”:”1”, “two”:”2”,…), or an 
extension, that can evaluate a calculation in the form of a string (like 
“100*5+55”).  If something exists for number conversion it would be interesting 
to see if it does both, annotation and calculation, and how it handles 
different languages such as:
1) input is one token (like numbers in german, einundzwanzig)
2) input is several tokens jointly representing one number (like in english: 
twenty two)
And mixed cases such as:
3) input is combination of number and string (like: 10 Millionen)

Thank you in advance for your help,
Best
