Some languages need male/female option for number to text

Hi, in Catalan de numbers 1 and 2 can be male or female, based on what's numered. Example: cotxe (car) is male and flor (flower) is female. So 1 cotxe (one car) is spelled "un cotxe" and 1 flor (one flower) is spelled "una flor". So, 1--> un (if male noun) and una (if female noun), 2 --> dos (if male noun) and dues (if female noun).

This male/female change also happens in numbers finished in 1 and 2 different that 11 and 12 (21, 22, 31, 32, ...) and also in hundreds and thousands.

Spanish also has this male/female, but only in numbers finished in 1. In Spanish 2 it's always spelled "dos".

Finally, this male/female isseu als is important for currency to text. Many currency are treated as male nouns: euro, dollar. But few currencis are "female": sterling pounds or the old spanish peseta. So, 1200 $ is spelled as "mil dos-cents dòllars", but 1200 PTA is spelled as "mil dues-centes pessetes".
