In Malaysia the currency Ringgit does not have plural form (as Ringgits), how to overcome this plural issue in “amount in words”  
And we want the cents also in words.  
Could you please assist us

Manager doesn’t know what fractions of currency are named but eventually the field should be added so the amount in words can be shown completely.

Why not just letting the user add the names when setting base and foreign currencies? This way it will show as they prefer.

@eko base currency name already added As Malaysian Ringgit  
But when it become plural the system automatically adds the “s” as plural form(Ringgits)  
But in Malaysia is being used as one ringgit, sixty five ringgit, one million ringgit (not ringgits)  
And the cents also we need in words

@Shan as mentioned if the user can define the name and plural/singular forms and the fractions in words then this would resolve the issue where @Lubos refers to that Manager does not know the naming conventions of each currency and their fractions. What you call cents in one language could be centimes in another.

It’s the same for euro

The plural of euro is euro but everyone uses euros

Dear @lubos, is there any possibilities to make changes in this “Total amount in words” matter.  
This cents 60/100 format and plural matter giving me trouble (customers asking me to re issue the invoice with perfect wording).  
Please consider. Thank you in advance

Seems like your customers are using any kind of ruse to delay or avoid paying you

Maybe you should be more selective of who you choose to deal with

If there is no “cents” involve in the amount; no issue so far.  
when it comes to “and 60/100”, they ask us to re-issue the invoice with the correct wording (ringgit also does not have plural form here, few customers raise that issue too)

I have decided to externalize amount in words feature into custom themes. Now with AI you can pretty much create custom theme that can show your documents any way you require including very specific formatting rules for amount in words.

If you’ve been using this checkbox, I have externalized it into custom theme. The good news is that custom theme can be used on any printed document so even though there is no checkbox on sales invoices, you can have amount in words on any document now through custom theme (quotes, orders, receipts etc).
