Does anyone have any programs (or subroutines) for doing text translation?
What we need are things like:
1. Numbers to words (e.g. 123 -> one hundred twenty-three)
2. Abbreviations to the words they stand for (e.g. st. -> street)
3. Dollars and cents to English (e.g. $123.45 -> English)
4. Acronyms -> the words they stand for
Basically the routines needed do text expansion, for something like a
text to speech system. Any language will do....

Regarding the text translation routines we asked for... thanks to all those of you who've responded so far. I did forget to mention one thing -- we already know about the "number" program in /usr/games. We've gotten a lot of responses on that one, plus we already knew about it before. Keep those responses coming.... --Dave Curry
