Description belowsky 2006-02-08 03:20:22 UTC 
Could you please add "numerals based on context" feature to OOo. This feature 
does exist in M$ Office. Not sure about this but I think it was also in OOo v1.x

For example, on a single document, I want the following:
I want that when I write (letters and words of course) in English language, the 
numerals used will be Arabic. And when I write in Arabic language, the numerals 
used will be Hindi. All in the SAME document

By the way, numerals used in Arabic language are Hindi numerals.

B.S. Let me know if I wasn't clear.

In the tabpage "Format.Numberings.options" in the box "Numbering" there should
be an option called "Native numbering".
This should cover your desire. Of course you must have enabled CTL in your
Language options.

Closed.
Comment 3 belowsky 2006-02-09 16:11:08 UTC 
Sir, that option is for listing only... (correct me if I am wrong).
What I am talking about is a feature that cover ANY numerals (not just the 
numbered listing) in any doc. Besides that, it check (wisly) the context of 
writing.

I will give you another example:
Now, I am writing an Arabic document and I'm using Hindi numerals with it. When 
I open OOo documentation, I see the Hindi numerals used in the documentaion 
instead of the Arabic numerals.

Context (or Native) should be put alongside (Arabic, Hindi and System) because 
it should be there and its needed to be there.
I allways write docs in booth languages (Arabic and English). in the same 
document. so please, sir, I need this feature.

OK, now I understand. Reopening issue.
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2006-02-10 07:15:15 UTC 
Reassigned to requirements.
Desired is an option which adapts all numerals in a text (not only
auto-numberings) into their format regarding the lingual context e.g. when
formatting a text from English to Arabic character format.

Think you so much people.... you are kings...
But I have one very lettel thing to add; the format of those context numerals. 
I mean things like the font name used.
Hindi numerals should take the formating used in Arabic words. And Arabic 
numerals should take the formating used in English words.
Example:
In the same document, suppose that I have choosed the font to be used with 
English text to be Tahoma while Arabic text is using Arial. The resulting 
numerals formatting should be:
Tahoma for Arabic numerals.
Arial for Hindi numerals.

setting keywords.

Since this sounds like a job for autocorrect/autoformat (similar to
typographic/custom quotes), I extended the summary accordingly
Comment 8 belowsky 2006-03-16 15:48:54 UTC 
Can you at least for now add this feature:
Making Hindi numerals to use CTL font formating just like how micro$oft did in 
there Office.
I think you know that Hindi numerals are used only by CTL languages. This will 
really solve some of problems regarding the formating of Arabic text.
