Examples:

  • 1 becomes one.
  • 2 becomes two.
  • 10 becomes 10.You can pass in either an integer or a string representation of an integer.

  • 45000 becomes 45,000.
  • 450000 becomes 450,000.

  • 4500000 becomes 4,500,000.Format localization will be respected if enabled,e.g. with the 'de' language:

  • 45000 becomes '45.000'.

  • 450000 becomes '450.000'.

intword

Converts a large integer (or a string representation of an integer) to afriendly text representation. Translates 1.0 as a singular phrase and allother numeric values as plural, this may be incorrect for some languages. Worksbest for numbers over 1 million.

  • 1200000 becomes 1.2 million.
  • 1200000000 becomes 1.2 billion.Values up to 10^100 (Googol) are supported.

  • 1000000 becomes '1,0 Million'.
  • 1200000 becomes '1,2 Millionen'.
  • 1200000000 becomes '1,2 Milliarden'.Changed in Django 3.0:All numeric values are now translated as plural, except 1.0 which istranslated as a singular phrase. This may be incorrect for some languages.

naturalday

For dates that are the current day or within one day, return “today”,“tomorrow” or “yesterday”, as appropriate. Otherwise, format the date usingthe passed in format string.

  • Any other day is formatted according to given argument or theDATE_FORMAT setting if no argument is given.

naturaltime

For datetime values, returns a string representing how many seconds,minutes or hours ago it was – falling back to the timesinceformat if the value is more than a day old. In case the datetime value is inthe future the return value will automatically use an appropriate phrase.

Examples (when ‘now’ is 17 Feb 2007 16:30:00):
