Question

I’m trying to convert numbers into a localized equivalent string (for an android app).

For example I would like to convert 25 into twenty five if the locale is US.

If the locale is FR I would like 237 to be converted into deux cent trente sept.

I searched a lot in the Android documentation without finding anything. ( Locale, TextUtils, … )

I also looked around into other library such as Apache Commons LocaleUtils, without success.

I’m wondering if such a library even exists.

Any ideas ?

I think you are mixing up localization with translation here. Locales in Java are typically used for formatting.

You could have a look at google-api-translate-java.
