This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is translating a site into Arabic using WPML and faces issues with numbers displaying as Arabic numerals (e.g., ٠٠٩٠ ٥٣٩ ٦٧٩ ٤٨٧٢) instead of English numerals, which is not suitable for their needs.
Solution:
We recommend editing the Arabic translations directly. When inserting the translation, use English numerals instead of Arabic numerals. This adjustment should ensure that numbers appear consistently in English numerals across the site.

In this case, the client also said that the problem came from the theme. He wrote:

"issuse was on my theme they have option to disable rtl arabic numbers

Background of the issue:
I am currently translating a site under development into Arabic using WPML. I am facing issues with the display of Arabic numerals.

Symptoms:
The numbers are displayed in Arabic numerals (e.g., ٠٠٩٠ ٥٣٩ ٦٧٩ ٤٨٧٢) instead of English numerals, which is not suitable for my needs.

Questions:
How can I edit the style of numbers to display them in English numerals instead of Arabic numerals on Arabic translated pages using WPML?
Is there a way to fix the number display so that they appear consistently in English numerals across the site?

Hi,

How did you translate the pages from English into Arabic?
Did you use WPML's automatic translation feature?

Please share your site's Debug information.

Hi,

In this case, if you inserted the Arabic translation, you can also fix it. Simply edit the translation again, and instead of the Arabic numerals, insert the English numerals.

Regards,
Itamar.
