Sankhyaank

描述

WordPress groups digits in threes (1,234,567). In India the same number is written 12,34,567, and large amounts are usually read in lakh and crore.

Sankhyaank (“sankhyaank” means numeral in Hindi and Gujarati) adds a shortcode that writes a number in the Indian numbering system:

• [sankhyaank value="1234567"] → 12,34,567
• [sankhyaank value="1234567" style="words"] → 12.35 lakh
• [sankhyaank value="20000000" style="words"] → 2 crore
• [sankhyaank value="250000" currency="inr"] → ₹2,50,000
• [sankhyaank value="1234567" digits="gujarati"] → ૧૨,૩૪,૫૬૭
• [sankhyaank value="1234567" digits="devanagari"] → १२,३४,५६७

Shortcode options

• value – the number. Commas and spaces in it are ignored.
• style – digits (default) for 12,34,567, or words for thousand, lakh and crore.
• decimals – how many decimal places to show. By default the number keeps its own decimals, and words uses up to 2.
• digits – latin (default), gujarati, devanagari, or auto to use Gujarati digits on a Gujarati site and Devanagari digits on a Hindi or Marathi site.
• currency – inr to add the rupee sign.

Large numbers stay exact, because the formatting works on the digits as text instead of converting them to a floating point number.

The words thousand, lakh and crore can be translated, so a site in Gujarati or Hindi can show them in its own language once translations are available.

For developers

Use the same formatting in a theme or plugin:

echo esc_html( Sankhyaank::format( 1234567, array( 'style' => 'words' ) ) );

The plugin has no settings, stores nothing in the database and does not contact any external service.
