How to pluralize in rails with words?

I'd like to pluralize a translation with words for the numbers instead of numerals.

So, for example, I'd like to be able to have a translation that results in:

"The Patriots came back to win the Superbowl by scoring thirty-one points in a row."

...instead of:

"The Patriots came back to win the Superbowl by scoring 31 points in a row."

Is there a way to do this?

I think what you're looking for is humanize:

2.humanize  # => "two"
4.humanize  # => "four"
8.humanize  # => "eight"

Or in your case:

str = "The Patriots came back to win the Superbowl by scoring 31 points in a row."
humanized = str.gsub(/\d+/) do |match|
  match.to_i.humanize  
end    
humanized # => "The Patriots came back to win the Superbowl by scoring thirty-one points in a row."
