Hi all
The default numerals in my Arabic mediawiki <http://wikibrary.org> is use
the Hindu numerals :
(٠ - ١ - ٢ - ٣ - ٤ - ٥ - ٦ - ٧ - ٨ - ٩)
in the Arab world we prefer to use the global and Arabic numerals :
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
so how to change the default numerals ?
Here's the config value you want:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgTranslateNumerals
it defaults to on, which'll use the localized numerals by default when
they're available. Since we know customary usage of local versus
Western-style digits varies from country to country and from area of
use to area of use, it can be disabled in the manner you're looking
for.
