Introduction to the Primezero Chinese Number Converter
November 4, 2007 – 8:28 pm
The Primezero Chinese Number Converter was created to help me learn to count in the Chinese language. I am still learning. 
The idea was inspired by Google’s Calculator.
Here is a sample Google Calculator query: 100 miles in kilometers
The following guide explains the basic functions of this utility that has been useful for me.
The Big Picture
The main purpose of the Primezero Chinese Number Converter is to provide a fast method for converting commonly-used quantities into Chinese. With this simple idea in mind, the interface is also designed to be simple:
- Show quantity converted.
- Show the Chinese conversion of the quantity.
- Show the romanization of the Chinese conversion.
