Then you could do:

one: "kilometer"

If in your I18n locale you have:

number_to_human(500000, :units => {:unit => "ml", :thousand => "lt"}) # => "500 lt"
You can also use your own custom unit quantifiers:

==== Examples

%n The number
%u The quantifier (ex.: 'thousand')

* :format - Sets the format of the output string (defaults to "%n %u"). The field types are:
* *fractionals*: :deci, :centi, :mili, :micro, :nano, :pico, :femto
* *integers*: :unit, :ten, :hundred, :thousand, :million, :billion, :trillion, :quadrillion
* :units - A Hash of unit quantifier names. Or a string containing an i18n scope where to find this hash. It might have the following keys:
* :strip_insignificant_zeros - If +true+ removes insignificant zeros after the decimal separator (defaults to +true+)
* :delimiter - Sets the thousands delimiter (defaults to "").
* :separator - Sets the separator between the fractional and integer digits (defaults to ".").
* :significant - If +true+, precision will be the # of significant_digits. If +false+, the # of fractional digits (defaults to +true+)
* :precision - Sets the precision of the number (defaults to 3).
* :locale - Sets the locale to be used for formatting (defaults to current locale).
