Problem
The opt-in “Write numbers as digits” feature currently understands English only. Dictation in other supported languages is left unchanged, so users cannot get equivalent number formatting when they speak those languages.
Smallest change
Extend the opt-in number-word-to-digits step with language-specific normalizers for every transcript language VocaPhone supports, and select the normalizer from the final output language. Keep Android and iOS behavior in parity. Unsupported or mixed-language text must remain unchanged rather than being guessed at.
Each language needs tests for its own number grammar, ordinals, ambiguous words, decimal and grouping conventions, units, and digit-script choice. Preserve the existing default: the feature stays off until the user enables it.
Other options (optional)
Do not use one generic replacement list across languages. Roll out language-aware rules with native-speaker cases and safe pass-through behavior for any language not yet covered.
