All 136 Supported Locales

Use this directory when you need the exact locale code, currency setup, or feature coverage before wiring to-words into a real product. The table below is generated from the library's source locale registry, so it stays aligned with the package rather than drifting from it.

Choosing The Right Locale

• Use the full bundle when the locale can change at runtime: toWords(123, { localeCode: 'fr-FR' })
• Use per-locale imports when bundle size matters: import { toWords } from 'to-words/hi-IN'
• Prefer a region-specific code when currency names matter: es-ES and es-MX both speak Spanish, but they spell money differently
• For legal or banking output, check the Fraction and Formal columns before assuming the locale supports them
