ODF-Numbertext

number to text conversion for the upcoming ODF OpenFormula standard

This project represents well-defined spreadsheet functions and a language-neutral algorithm for the number to text (number name) conversion for the upcoming ODF OpenFormula standard, also an OpenOffice.org Calc extension as a working implementation. It is a generalization of the BAHTTEXT function and a huge number language-dependent third-party extensions of Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and OpenOffice.org.

This is an important function for spreadsheets, but there was no language-neutral solution yet. Finishing the project will imply support for a dozen new European languages, plus document the implemented functions and the algorithm.
