I'd need to think about it - seems complex but sometimes the solution is simple

ps; think I remember the Spanish rule

only and between 10^1 and 10^0 if necessary
range: 16 - 99
eg
21 >> twenty and one (translated)
40 >> no since the 10^0 part is zero
99>> ninety and nine

21455>> twenty and one thousand four hundred fifty and five
21001 >> twenty and one thousand one
