Verbose numbers in swedish
Hi, I'm trying to get verbose numbers (i.e. "five" instead of 5) to work when \mainlanguage[sv] is set. I'm new to ConTeXt so I'm still struggling to grasp how everything fits together, but I found the spanish verbose numbers in core-con.lua, and added functions for swedish to match that which seemed relevant. I'm attaching my core-con.lua if that helps. (My additions start at line 1418) My question is, are there more places in other files that also need to be modified for this to work? If so, I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. There must be some step that I'm missing. Thank you. MWE where I expect the word "ett" instead of "1": \mainlanguage[sv] \starttext \convertnumber{words}{1} \stoptext

ConTeXt doesn't use the source files itself when you produce a document but uses a format file which contains the content of the source files (which is a lot faster). When you make a change in one of the source files you have to create a new format with includes these changes, to create such a format files type context --make on the command line. Wolfgang

MWE where I expect the word "ett" instead of "1": \mainlanguage[sv] \starttext \convertnumber{words}{1} \stoptext You have to remake the format:
context --make (I'll check the code and add it to the distribution later).
