The formal titles of the currency are "euro" for the major unit and "cent" for the minor (one hundredth) unit and for official use in most Eurozone languages; according to the ECB, all languages should use the same spelling for the nominative singular. This may contradict normal rules for word formation in some languages, e.g. those where there is no eu diphthong. For English texts the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation recommends that the plural forms 'euros' and 'cents' should be used when appropriate.
