> Spanish translation for digits/h-billion is wrong, in Spanish, a billion is equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000) like old Brithish English. 
> To make sure we are talking about the same, here is a snippet of the code:
> {code:title=main/say.c|borderStyle=solid}
> ...
>      } else if (num < INT_MAX) {
>        int billions = num / 1000000000;
>        num = num % 1000000000;
> ...
> {code}
> We are talking of a thousand million, which in spanish is:
> "Milmillonésimo" (thousand = mil, millonésimo = million).
> From the Royal Academy of Language dictionary:
> http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=milmillon%C3%A9simo
> milmillonésimo, ma.
> 1. adj. Se dice de cada una de las 1000 millones de partes iguales en que se divide un todo. U. t. c. s.
> Translation:
> 1. adj. It is said of each of the 1,000 million equal parts into which a whole is divided
> http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=billion%C3%A9simo
> billonésimo, ma.
> (De billón).
> 2. adj. Mat. Que ocupa en una serie el lugar al cual preceden otros 999 999 999 999 lugares.
> Translation:
> 2. adj. Math. Place that occupy in a serie which precede other 999 999 999 999 places
> That means in English a Trillion, so in resume a "Billón" in spanish is a Trillion in english and "Milmillonésimo" means a billionth.
> French translation seems to be right as it says milliardième, which comes from the word milliard which means milmillonésimo or millardo in spanish therefore, a billion in english. Anyway, someone with proper credentials in french should verify it.
