Hello,  
I’m using Discourse in Arabic.  
The numbers are Arabic : 0,1,2,3 … but they’re hindu after selection.

When I set a date ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/e/fefc130c521b25b5b2b79f075e2f8dabaf9a003d.png) and click pin, it says that I should enter a date.

I think the hindu numbers are not supported and should not be translated.  
What do you guys think ?

@Aymane_Shuichi @simon is this still the case?

I don’t speak Arabic, but I tried it out and it seems to be working correctly. Hindu (I think) numbers are entered into the input after being selected from the calendar, but the topic is pinned and there don’t seem to be any errors.
