Format numbers as text

[dselman]

Some clauses include text, such as:

within thirty (30) days for new acquisitions or creations where turnover exceeds GBP 10,000,000 or fifteen percent (15%) of total group turnover declared at inception of this Policy, whichever is the greater;

Where the numeric value and its text representation need to be kept in sync.

A formatting instruction for numbers could be added to covert the number to a locale specific string.

Hey I would like to work on this issue. Also, I'd like to participate in GSOC with the Accord Project, will it improve my chances if I solve a few issues in this repository? Specifically, i'd like to work on this project - https://github.com/accordproject/techdocs/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2024-Ideas-List#1-playground-and-getting-started-experience

Hi @dselman ,I've explored this repo locally and didn't figure out where should I implement the converter Functions, is the converter logic should be implemented here or in another repo?

[dselman]

The code would be an enhancement to the various "drafters" we have. E.g. here is the one for Integer:

@dselman It seems that this issue involves adding a formatting method that converts integer, long, and double values to English text. This formatting method gets called based on the format parameter in drafters.

Is my interpretation correct?
May I be assigned to this issue?
