PERL METHODS
(format: (returns) name (arguments after self))
- (scalar)
_translate(scalar, scalar) -
Accepts a value and a "mode" string. Based on the mode string, will perform a translation of the number in the mode specified by the translate attribute, as long as the number is between 0 and 999. This method is meant to be instantiated. The version included in this module will translate most of the numbers one might have to spell out to suit a style, as is commonly required when the number appears at the beginning of a sentence. Currently, only english is supported as an option. This number will be capitalized if the capitalize flag is set.
