php-chinese-numbers

PHP implementation of a ChineseNumber object and derivative stack designed to complement Mandarin Chinese translation services

GETTING STARTED

This is a reference implementation. Feel free to fork it and add your personal touch or local flavor. It's FLOSS.

Helpful Resources:

• This library uses PHP: http://www.php.net/
• Code and documenetation use Pffy idioms: https://github.com/pffy/idioms#chinese-text-processing
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_numerals

CHINESE NUMBER CONVERSION

Expressing numbers in any language helps you communicate useful information.

If you are developing Chinese lexical knowledgebase or search engine with Chinese search results(for example), you may want to complement text search results with number conversion and translation. Feel free to use this as part of your solution.

The possibilities for this open source stack include (but are not limited to):

• Improving accuracy or clarity of Mandarin Chinese translations.
• Adding more control over local or colloquial expressions for numbers.
• Avoiding dependency on external operating system or platform locale developers.
• Avoiding misinterpetation or confusion, especially in high-context communication.
• Adding granular control for age-specific content in a supervised education context.
• Developing apps for your organization with 100% free, libre and open source software is frictionless.
