Reduce Large Numbers to Human Readable Formats

I’m trying to reduce the length of large numbers in the spans of some menu items. Such as…

Members 10,500 = Members 10.5K
Friends 2,000 = Friends 2k
etc.

I found this snippet:

Reduce Large Numbers to Human Readable Formats

However, is there a way to add it as a function without editing the template files?

Thanks

You will need to use hooks. The basic idea is to attach a custom function to the relevant filter hook then inside your custom function you can use number_format() to group the thousands.
