Thai Localization - Convert Amount Text to Thai

Odoo's core functionality includes the amount_to_text function, which converts numerical amounts into text based on the user's language settings or context. However, this conversion may produce incorrect results for Thai.

Example:

• Amount: 45.75 Baht
  • User Language: Thai → สี่สิบห้า Baht และ เจ็ดสิบห้า Satang
  • User Language: English → Forty-Five Baht and Seventy-Five Satang

These results are inaccurate for Thai language formatting. This module provides a base for accurately converting numbers to Thai text.

Usage

The amount_to_text function in the res.currency model allows you to convert amounts into text. Below is an example of how to use it in a QWEB report:

Example Usage:

<t t-foreach="docs" t-as="o">
    <t t-set="currency" t-value="o.currency_id"/>

    <!-- Convert amount to Thai text -->
    <t t-out="currency.with_context({'lang': 'th_TH'}).amount_to_text(45.75)"/>

    <!-- Convert amount to text using Odoo's default behavior -->
    <t t-out="currency.amount_to_text(45.75)"/>
</t>

Results Based on Context:

• When lang=th_TH context is sent:
  • Currency: THB → สี่สิบห้าบาทเจ็ดสิบห้าสตางค์
  • Currency: EUR → สี่สิบห้ายูโรเจ็ดสิบห้าเซนต์
  • Currency: USD → สี่สิบห้าดอลลาร์เจ็ดสิบห้าเซนต์
• When no context is sent: Odoo's default logic will handle the conversion.

Important Notes:

Ensure the Thai language (th_TH) is activated in your system before using the lang='th_TH' context.

Before sending the context with th_TH language, If it is not activated, combining the th_TH language context with non-THB currencies may result in errors.
