You can try the following code:

Although the layout could be better, this should do the trick.

using the code which vinnijain is given you, you can also try modifying the same for millions and billions also.............

You could store all the numeric semantics in a dictionary and then recursively call a translator method (as needed) that whittles it down from most significant to least signicant digits... For example:

        }

The above sample demonstrates working with the Cebuano language, but you can easily see the logic in making the proper interpretation to form a grammatical representation of a number.
