What happened?:
when typing arabic numbers two problems can be noticed.
first, a normal empty page, number becomes 000'06 instead of 60'000
when typing as you write, from right to left, numbers are printed the wrong way, no matter if arabic thousands separator, U+066C), is used or not.
steps to reproduce:
- go to arabic wikipedia, create an empty page
- use google translate to translate a sentence into arabic, incouding a number
- paste it into the empty page. play with the number. replace the thousands separator with an arabic thousands separator from https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+066C, or a single quote (apostrophe). or type the whole number with these thousands separators.
second, in templates, number becomes 000'60
second, a template, e.g. on https://ur.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AF_%DA%A9%D9%84%D8%A8_(%D8%AC%D8%AF%DB%81)&action=edit
typing 60'000 with quote becomes 000'60. typing 60'000 with arabic thousands separator is correct: 60'000. see attached screenshots. typing it from right to left does not work, for both numbers and text.
steps to reproduce:
- open url https://ur.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AF_%DA%A9%D9%84%D8%A8_(%D8%AC%D8%AF%DB%81)&action=edit
- search for number with thousands, insert the different formats with different thousands separators.
- exit template edit and see error, do not save the page.
What should have happened instead?:
in all cases the number should be 60'000.
