Adding Custom Languages and Currencies

Adding a New Currency

Simply add the currency to your language files. The package supports both simple strings and pluralization:

Simple format (backward compatible):

'currencies' => [
    'JPY' => [
        'major' => 'Japanese yen',
        'minor' => '', // Leave empty if no minor unit
    ],
],

With pluralization (recommended for proper grammar):

'currencies' => [
    'USD' => [
        'major' => [
            'singular' => 'US dollar',
            'plural' => 'US dollars',
        ],
        'minor' => [
            'singular' => 'cent',
            'plural' => 'cents',
        ],
    ],
],

The package automatically uses the correct form based on the amount:

• 1.50 USD → "one US dollar fifty cents"
• 2.00 USD → "two US dollars"

Creating a New Language File

Create a new language file in resources/lang/vendor/number-to-words/{locale}/number.php:

return [
    'digits' => [
        '0' => 'zero',
        '1' => 'one',
        // ...
    ],
    'tens' => [
        '10' => 'ten',
        '20' => 'twenty',
        // ...
    ],
    'hundred' => 'hundred',
    'exponents' => [
        0 => '',
        1 => 'thousand',
        2 => 'million',
        // ...
    ],
    'currencies' => [
        'USD' => [
            'major' => 'dollar',
            'minor' => 'cent',
        ],
        // ...
    ],
];
