The builder Num2Words can take any of these methods: lang, cardinal, ordinal, ordinal_num, year, and currency.

use num2words::*;
assert_eq!(
    Num2Words::new(42).lang(Lang::French).to_words(),
    Ok(String::from("quarante-deux"))
);
assert_eq!(
    Num2Words::new(42).ordinal().to_words(),
    Ok(String::from("forty-second"))
);
assert_eq!(
    Num2Words::new(42.01).currency(Currency::DOLLAR).to_words(),
    Ok(String::from("forty-two dollars and one cent"))
);

These arguments can be chained.
