Microsoft translator number to words weird behaviour

Got an issue here, can't translate properly to "word", it only works on very small numbers.

This is how I call the webAPI https://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Http.svc/Translate?to=zh-chs&text=Nine

I've consulted the docs but I've yet to find something. MSDN COGNITIVE

Is there any way of forcing the translate to translate to word and not arabic format ?

Thanks,

Solution

  • No, there are no options for controlling semantic behaviors such as number, date/time, etc. The result is dependent on the materials used for training the engine for a particular language, and in this particular case, it appears that for this language pair, word numbers are represented by digits in the result.
