ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish

ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish

[Acidrums4]

Hello there and thanks for finally let me into this mailing list!

So I tried to hack the macro given in the ConTeXt wiki 
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Page_numbering_in_words) to write pagenumbering 
in words in spanish, my native language. Things were great until I had to 
reach the 100th page. ConTeXt claims when compiling, but I don't know how to 
fix the macro so it can write hundred-numbers.

'Cien' is 100 for spanish. 'Ciento uno' for 101, 'ciento dos' for 102 and so 
(You can see a more detailed example in 
http://spanish.about.com/cs/forbeginners/a/cardinalnum_beg.htm). So basically 
I need to prepend the word 'cien' for each word number from 1 to 99 to write 
the one-hundreds, 'doscientos' for the two-hundreds... Here is my dirty hacked 
version of the macro (you may save it as 'numstr.tex' for compiling), and a 
minimal example as follows:

\input numstr
\defineconversion[numstring][\numstr]
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numstring]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{\recurselevel\page}
\stoptext

I'm such a noob with TeX and I cannot figure out how to do this, and I need 
this for this friday!. However, Aditya in the TeX section of StackExchange 
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82722/context-page-numbering-in-words-
for-spanish#comment178155_82722) told me that I could do this witk Lua 
(editing the file core-con.lua, as seen in 
http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git/blob/HEAD:/tex/context/base/core-con.lua
), 'cause I'm using MkIV for doing this. But I don't know anything about Lua 
(seems pretty easy, but I don't know how to test the code Aditya gave me) and 
If I knew how to do that, I don't know how to make it work in my document... 
All I could do is translate the 'words' array to spanish, but I couldn't do 
more... Could you guys give me a hand on this? Thank you so much!

We can add a converter to core-con, but you have to do the checking (and 
tuning):

local floor = math.floor
local concat = table.concat

print(verbose.spanish(31))

sort of the english one with some patches (exceptions can be added to

Re: ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish

[Sietse Brouwer]

Hi Acidrums, hi Hans,
I worked up the code below,
put it in core-con.lua,
and recompiled ConTeXt with `context --make cont-en`.
It gives the following output. Does it look correct?

Hans: the `spanishwords` is a bit hacky; probably words should have
subtables words.english and words.spanish.
Cheers,
Sietse

> they are local tables ... so invisible to users

Fair point. I was concerned more with changeabiltity: this way someone
who writes a new function has an obvious name (numberwords.french) for
her new wordlist, and an obvious single point of alteration for her
copy of verbose.english, namely to change `local words =
numberwords.english` to `...numberwords.french`. (Algorithm tweaks
will still come after that, of course.) The code needs very little
changing. This is a minor point only, of course.
--Sietse

+ local numberwords = { }

- words = {
+ numberwords.english = {
    [1] = "one",
    ...
}

-spanishwords = {
+ numberwords.spanish = {
    [1] = "uno",
    ...
}

function verbose.english(n)
+    local words = allwords.english
    ... `words` already used throughout ...
end

function verbose.spanish(n)
+    local words = allwords.spanish
    -- to use a different table, no need to
    -- replace `spanishwords` throughout
    -- the function; just change the line above.
    ... no more `spanishwords`, just `words` ...
end

Re: ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish

[Acidrums4]

I Sietse, I tried the procedure you described without success. I'm using 
ConTeXt 2011 (I know, it's not the latest and etc, but I got to work with this 
version because compatibility with my work and I have some troubles with 
projects). I pasted the code you wrote at the end of core-con.lua and ran 
'context --make cont-en'. But I got the following:

Any clue about this? Thanks!

your effort on this, a translation for 'days' and 'months' arrays):

Re: ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish

[Sietse Brouwer]

Hi Hans,

I think the verbose.spanish code you put in the latest beta broke
verbose.english: after verbose.english is defined, a second `local
verbose = { }` at the start of the spanish code accidentally
overwrites that table.

The code below works; as a bonus, it fixes the bug where 900 was
printed as 'nine hundred zero'. It can replace the entire swath of
verbose-related code, right up to the handlers. (The English part is
mostly untouched; only that bugfix, and a tweak to use the `local
words = words.english` idiom)

Known bugs:
* 100 before 'mil' should be 'cien mil'
* 100 on its own should be 'cien'
* 100 before 'millón' -- should that be 'cien millón', or 'ciento millón'?
* what are the rules for e.g. '1001' -- should that be 'mil y una'?
And should 1004 also be mil y cuatro?

Acidrums: if you put this in core-con.lua, replacing everything
between the commands.ordinal and converters.verbose function
definitions, then run context --make cont-en, does the output look
okay to you? Also: thank you for the day and month tables!
Cheers,
Sietse

Just pasted the code you gave after commands.ordinal (there's no 
converters.verbose in my core-con.lua) and the context --make cont-en command 
worked. But when I tried the minimal ConTeXt example you gave, it claims with 
the following:

=== Beginning of output ===

! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: attempt to call field 'verbose' (a nil 
value)
stack traceback:
        <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk.

 2     \def\vbes#1%
 3         {#1\crlf
 4          \ctxcommand{verbose(#1, "spanish")}}
 5     
 6         \obeylines
 7 >>      \vbes{11111111}
 8         \vbes{2221101}
 9         \vbes{1111}
10         \vbes{1218}
11         \vbes{1234}
12         \vbes{12345}
13         \vbes{12345678900000}
14     \stopcode


\ctxcommand ...\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1}
                                                  
l.7     \vbes{11111111}
                       
?

=== End of output ===

For the bugs you're talking about, I would say this:

* 100 before 'mil' should be 'cien mil' -> Yes, it should be like that.
* 100 on its own should be 'cien' -> Same thing here.
* 100 before 'millón' -- should that be 'cien millón', or 'ciento millón'? -> 
It should be 'cien millones'. 'Millones', plural for 'Millón'. Maybe it should 
be a variable for plurals for millions (the only plural used for numbers in 
spanish).
* what are the rules for e.g. '1001' -- should that be 'mil y una'? -> It 
should be 'mil uno' (just put the '1' word after the '1000' word).
And should 1004 also be mil y cuatro? -> Like before, it should be 'mil 
cuatro': the '4' word after the '1000' word.

Thank you, you're so gentle!

Singular and plural don't always suffice.

1M: en milijon
2M: dva milijona
3/4M: [tri|štiri] milijone
5M: pet milijonov

(And then of course, if you want more fun, "en milijon", "enega
milijona", "enemu milijonu", "en milijon", "enem milijonu", "enim
milijonom", "dva milijona", "dveh milijonov", "dvema milijonoma", "dva
milijona", "dveh milijonih", "dvema milijonoma", ...)

I'm not suggesting to implement the forms (declinations) from the last
paragraph, but if you want to introduce separate singular and plural
forms, you might want to support more than just two forms from the
start:

Yes ... I was studiously avoiding bringing that up. :-) I suppose one
would end up with separate languages like es-s-m, es-s-f, es-pl-m,
es-pl-f for the converter to invoke. Then es would be a synonym of the
most common form (singular masculin, probably).

I might ask the same of you. :-P Anyway, I've written one up. I'll
post it later, after I've had a chance to adapt it to the structure
you lay out in the new beta.

Acidrums wrote:

What version are you using? converters.verbose was put in on november
12. Are you using the latest beta, or the TeX Live 2012 stable
version?

As for the error you got:
Try the new beta Hans just uploaded, Spanish conversions are working
in that one.
E.g. \ctxcommand{verbose(123, "es")}.
The bugs we discusses in a previous mail are also still in there ---
I'll try to get around to them.

Similarly for Polish (which is no surprise), so a more general mechanism
might be a good idea.

1M: (jeden) milion
2/3/4M: dwa/trzy/cztery miliony
5/6/7/8/9M: pięć/sześć/siedem/osiem/dziewięć milionów

32M: trzydzieści dwa miliony
57M: pięćdziesiąt siedem milionów

And similarly for thousands.

first we need working prototypes for several languages, then I can wrap 
it into some general mechanism. I think all languages are somewhat 
different so 'general' is 'sort of general'.

For example, in French, 1000 can be une brique, une patate or un bâton,
