Add documentation on How to use as default feature of libreoffice

[pharmankur]

I am aware that libnumbertext library is now integrated with libreoffice as a standard [as NatNum12 ] .

BUT I DID NOT FIND ANY USEFUL DOCUMENTATION ON HOW EXACTLY numbertext , moneytext FUNCTIONS are supposed to be used in libreoffice CALC [ without using linumbertext extension ] ,
ALSO how to change language [ e.g. if I want output as mr-IN ; MARATHI मराठी ] or mode of the output ; is not clearly documented anywhere in libreoffice.

Can the documentation about how to use [ as default feature of libreoffice NatNum12 ] be added in this project page ?

This is about typing / transliteration in MARATHI ... this is not the request .

Requested is documentation on using numbertotext in Marathi using NatNum12 in libreoffice without using any extension
E.g. typing 12 should reflect बारा in calc cell

... this is possible for English, it can be possible in Marathi as libnumbertext is integrated with libreoffice ... only how to select Marathi language (OR any other than English) is not clearly documented in libreoffice help documents.

Pasting it here for reference ---->

लिब्रे ऑफिसमधील "कॅल्क" हे सॉफ्टवेअर मायक्रोसॉफ्ट ऑफिसमधील एक्सेलसारखे काम करते. त्यात एखादी संख्या टाईप केल्यानंतर ती अक्षरी लिहिण्यासाठी त्या सेलचा फॉरमॅट फक्त बदलावा लागतो हा असा...
[NatNum12 cardinal] 0
आता जर स्प्रेड्शिटमध्ये 789 असे लिहिले असेल तर ते अक्षरी "सातशे एकोणनव्वद" असे लिहून मिळते या चित्रात दाखविल्याप्रमाणे…

इंग्रजी 789 ला मराठी आकड्यात म्हणजे ७८९.०० असे दाखवायचे असेल तर हा फॉरमॅट वापरा.
[NatNum1][$-439]#,##0.00
यात 439 हा देवनागरीचा संकेतांक आहे.

बराह किंवा इतर कोणते सॉफ्टवेअर वापरून थेट मराठी आकडे लिहिता येत असताना हे फॉरमॅट बदलाचे झंझट कशाला? याचे उत्तर म्हणजे तसे केले तर दोन आकड्यांची बेरीज / वजाबाजी कॅल्क करू शकणार नाही. वर दिलेल्या पद्धतीने फक्त डिस्प्ले बदलत असल्यामुळे गणितातील जटील समस्या मराठी आकड्यात सोडवता येतील.

----- I was hoping such documentation in libreoffice help.
In screenshot you have selected LANGUAGE - Marathi
... I am not getting any such option in my Calc.

Can you help with it ?
I used Libreoffice on Linux Mint

Which version of Libreoffice are you using? I guess this feature was added in 6.1 or 7.0 version. If you do not get Language option even in the latest version, please let me know so that I will follow up with Libreoffice support.

Thanks @shantanuo
I updated my version to 24.8 and Marathi option is now visible.

Selection of Language [ like here ... Marathi ] and modifier options other than "cardinal" should be present in NatNum12 official documentation https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/he/text/shared/01/05020301.html

I believe present documentation does NOT explain use of NatNum12 fairly

Further, I tried other modifier options for Marathi [ as included in the mr.sor ] ; and to my surprise they worked well !
e.g.

• [NatNum12 cardinal]0 = एक हजार नऊशे सत्तेचाळीस
• [NatNum12 ordinal-masculine]0 = एक हजार नऊशे सत्तेचाळीसावा
• [NatNum12 ordinal-feminine]0 = एक हजार नऊशे सत्तेचाळीसावी
• [NatNum12 ordinal-neutral]0 = एक हजार नऊशे सत्तेचाळीसावे
• [NatNum12 year]0 = एकोणीसशे सत्तेचाळीस
• [NatNum12 cardinal]0.## = दोन हजार चोवीस दशांश छप्पन्न
• [NatNum12 cardinal]0.###### = उणे दोन हजार चोवीस दशांश पाच एक सहा सात तीन

Libreoffice Help / Documentation must get updated to accommodate this brilliant feature !
