I would definitely be interested in collaborating on this. What can I do?
For now, you can test the modifications I propose and share test cases with me.
Right now, test cases would be the most useful. For example, if you could provide uses of #expr or #formatnum that the user would normally have to switch to English Format, that would be a great start.
In my crazy dreams, I can see adding support to #expr and the like for supporting Devnagari number forms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari#Numerals).
But let's focus on your use case for now.
By the way, what happens if you have users with different user language?
Any translation is going to use the number system of the wiki's content language, not the user's interface language (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_in_MediaWiki).
Language will always shift from day to day. It is the wind blowing through our mouths. -- http://hexm.de/np
