Not all languages group large numbers into A103 + B106, etc. For example, Japanese has no word for 106. Instead, it has a word for 104, and 106 is written as 100 of those. Unsurprisingly, 2e7 is not written 20 × 100 × 104, but as 2000 × 104. Translations should be able to specify which powers of 10 have special names.
What did you do?
>>> import humanize
>>> humanize.i18n.activate("ja_JP")
<gettext.GNUTranslations object at 0x102fcca00>
>>> humanize.intword(234909023)
'234.9 百万'
>>> humanize.intword(2349090)
'2.3 百万'What did you expect to happen?
>>> humanize.intword(234909023)
'2.3億'
>>> humanize.intword(2349090)
'234.9万'
What actually happened?
>>> humanize.intword(234909023)
'234.9 百万'
>>> humanize.intword(2349090)
'2.3 百万'
(This is the equivalent of putting in 23490902 and getting "234.9 hundred thousand" in English)
