Forum:Hindu-Arabic numerals

Does anyone here know a way to change the Hindu-Arabic numerals in Arabic Wikis to latin numerals. Because it will be easier to use them. For example when I use 27 Or I sign in an arabic wiki these numerals appear (٠.١.٢.٣.٤.٥.٦.٧.٨.٩). So how can I change them?

Take a look at Arabic-wikipedia. They are using the Western numerals. In printed documents, we never ever use the Indic numerals. All our keyboards only write the Western numerals (0123456789).

So Why should we use the Indic numbers, then?

I have to mention that the Indic numbers have problems, because its zero looks like a dot & the comma is used instead of the dot. --Achraf94 12:44, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
