Portable Numeral Translator

+ +15 August 2008
+
+ +

+Here is the first GF application for the iPhone. It translates +numerals from digits into number words in 15 languages. It works for +numerals in the range 1-999,999. You can use the demo online in your iPhone's +browser, or download and install it by using FileMagnet (from AppStore). +

+

+The demo should work in any web browser supporting JavaScript, but it has been +specially dimensioned for the iPhone screen. It is an application of a general +technology, namely the compilation of GF grammars to JavaScript. Thus you can +easily build similar applications from your own grammars. +

+

+The +full numeral translator, which +works in 88 language and permits arbitrary cross translations, cannot yet be ported +to the iPhone because of memory problems. +

+

+The current version has some encoding/font issues in Hebrew and Hindi. +

+

+Use the translator online +

+

+Download the translator. To install: unpack the file and move +the directory numbers to your FileMagnet uploader. +
