Hi,

I am using XSLT 1.0. In the report i have a requirement to display the amount in to words. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to do this in XSLT.

I've no doubt it is possible, as most things are.

There isn't any built in feature to allow you to do this, but I'm sure a template could be written to convert a number into words. This template probably wouldn't be simple however.

There is no standard facility in XSLT 1.0 to do this. It is available as an extension in at least one XSLT 1.0 processor (Saxon); apart from that, you will have to call out to an external library.

XSLT 2.0 has this capability as standard:

<xsl:number value="1234" format="w" lang="en"/>

outputs something like "one thousand two hundred and thirty four"

Hi Michael, i have used
<xsl:number value="1234" format="w" lang="en"/> and is working for me.

I need to convert the test in spanish language, so tried the below


<xsl:number value="1234" format="w" lang="es"/>, but still i am getting results in english language.

Can you help on this?

The question of which languages are supported depends on the XSLT processor you are using.

If you're using Saxon, then it depends on which version & edition: please raise Saxon-specific questions on the Saxon help forums at saxonica.plan.io.

If you're using a different XSLT 2.0 processor, e.g. IBM or Altova, please contact the respective vendor.
