Num2words Nepali number system format support.

[ajiragroup]

As per my understanding, Frappe uses Num2words library to convert number into words (especially needed for currency). The num2words library already has lang_EN_IN locale setup which works fine if country is set to India.

In Nepal, numbering format is similar to Indian except that we do not stop at Crore. For something that Indian system would return 100 Cr is actually 1 Arba in Nepali system. Nepali system goes well beyond 10^30. However such a large number would practically not be needed. In our case we have felt need to accommodate 10^12 place (just in case). A number - 10^11 would be called 1 Kharba which is 10,000 Cr.

To accommodate this changes we have made changes and sent a PR for num2words by making changes to existing Indian system.

But it looks like this library is not actively maintained. Under this circumstances, how can we integrate this change into Frappe ?

It is possible to implement these changes in Frappe before the PR gets merged in the num2words library ?

@ajiragroup you can monkey-patch the library to dynamically add en_NP in their converters.

I believe that would only affect my local instance and this will not apply to the whole Frappe community until it is actually merged in num2words.
