Thread:Support/About MediaWiki:Narayam-ta-99/hi

This and other messages containing numerals tend to create a problem for hi translation (and probably other indic languages too). Although indic languages have their own numeral systems, these are not as popular as the arabic numerals.

Most indic language wmf projects use arabic numerals, some use native numerals. It is possible that different projects in a single language use different numerals (e.g hi-wp uses arabic while hi-wikt uses devanagari numerals).

So some people using hi, for example, would want to see devanagari numerals while others would want to see arabic numerals. Wherever the numeral is in the form of a parameter its not a problem (mediawiki handles what to do), but where the numerals come explicitly within the messages, we have to choose one numeral system over the other, which leaves one side or the other annoyed.

Ideally, I'd like it if I had something simple that took care of this, like or something. Is something like this currently possible/can this be made possible?

Thanks
