How would this date look in Marathi?
I believe you still got same digits - 1 is 1, not?

If yes, then it's all about date formats here, it will require some hacking.
I would also like to create a date format for Latvian, and in this case it would be 22.3.2007.

We can figure it out. I'll look into it in a moment.

Hello ,
There are some different signs for digit in Marathi than English. Only common digit is 0 and I want all other should display in Marathi.

I am giving them below.

१ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९ ०

Well, this should be submitted as a feature request against Drupal's locale module. There is no way now to do this, and there are many places, where digits are used, eg. in places where counts of objects are displayed: "14 new comments" for example. I don't see an immediate simple method to solve this, but you probably have a good idea.

Did you find a solution to this?

Or, has this been added as a feature in Drupal 6?

In case someone else hits this URL....

Found a solution, based on
http://blog.muktosource.com/bdhacker/drupal-translate-digits-into-your-l...

Added below block at the end of
function t($string, $args = array(), $langcode = NULL)
in DRUPAL_INSTALL_DIR/includes/common.inc

if($langcode == 'hi'){
return hindiDigit(strtr($string, $args));
}else{
return strtr($string, $args);
}

and defined below function at the end

function hindiDigit($numb){
// Credits: Hasan Raihan
$latin = array('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0');
$hindi = array('१','२','३','४','५','६','७','८','९','०');
return str_replace($latin, $hindi, $numb);
}

Should this not be added as a feature?

PS: I am sure we can have a proper i18n solution based on strings, but I am new to both PHP and Drupal and I wait for a more skilled person's inputs. Any help would be appreciated.
