How to convert French words to integers?

Other questions have been answered regarding converting English words to numbers, particularly using the library w2n or other custom algorithms.

However I don't know how to convert French (or generically speaking, any language's) words to integers, such as:

>>> word_to_number('quarante-quatre')
44

I'm not a fluent speaker of French, but it's certainly not just trying to translate the words in https://github.com/akshaynagpal/w2n/blob/master/word2number/w2n.py right?

Solution

  • just googled a bit and found a very similarly named project called text2num that:

    provides functions and parser classes for:

    • parsing numbers expressed as words in French and convert them to integer values;

    their demo:

    from text_to_num import text2num
text2num('quatre-vingt-quinze')

    gives 95 back, which seems about right
