Efficient algorithms for number systems

Hi,

I need to design four different algorithms that will read
numbers and produce strings of words are they are pronounced in 4 different
languages. English, Traditional Welsh, Japanese and French
For example

English 105, (one hundred five)
Welsh 39, (pedwar ar bymtheg ar hugain) consisting 4, 15 and 20
etc

I don't know how to design algorithms for non-English languages
as I don't know the rules for constructing these numbers.

I have compiled lists of the numbers for each language between 0-9999
and sets of unique words used using a script that reads output
from the program and generates these sequences.

I desgined an algorithm for English I am not sure if it's a good algorithm.
Obvious solution is to put those in files and use them as databases. This
solution is not acceptable and I need to design algorithms

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
