Turkish Number to Words in JavaScript (tr-TR)

Use to-words when you need Turkish cardinals, ordinal words, or invoice totals in a format your application can trust across browsers and Node.js runtimes.

Locale codes: tr-TR · Numbering system: Short scale · Currency: Turkish Lira / Kurus · Script: Latin

Install

npm install to-words

Basic Conversion

import { ToWords } from 'to-words';

const tw = new ToWords({ localeCode: 'tr-TR' });

tw.convert(137); // "yüz otuz yedi"
tw.convert(4680); // "dört bin altı yüz seksen"
tw.convert(1000000);

Currency - Turkish Lira / Kurus

tw.convert(1234.56, { currency: true });
tw.convert('5000.00', { currency: true, includeZeroFractional: true });

Use string input when legal or accounting flows need trailing zeros preserved exactly.

Ordinal Numbers

tw.toOrdinal(1);
tw.toOrdinal(23);
tw.toOrdinal(1000);

Turkish ships with explicit ordinal mappings, so UI labels like rankings, steps, or competition results stay in full-word form instead of suffix hacks.
