How does Microsoft ILIT handle numbers?
Since Hindi numerals are rarely used even in Hindi text, Microsoft ILIT returns the international numerals as the first option and the Hindi numerals as the second. For example, typing “2009” gives “2009” followed by “२००९”. Further, in the Desktop version, if you manually select the Hindi numerals from the list of options, for all subsequent words containing numerals, Microsoft ILIT returns Hindi numerals as the first option and international numerals as the second. This preference will be retained until you manually select international numerals from the list of options or until you switch to another language or close the application.
