How to Switch Between Arabic and Hindi Numerals in alameen ERP

alameen ERP displays numbers based on the number format settings in Windows.

Since some users prefer to display numbers as follows:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

While others want them displayed as:

٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩

Therefore, you can change the numeral style shown in the program via Windows settings, without needing to modify the data.

What is the difference between Arabic and Hindi numerals?

In this article, we use the following terms:

• Arabic numerals:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

• Hindi numerals:

٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩

It is worth noting that Windows settings do not include options named "Arabic numerals" or "Hindi numerals"; instead, the numeral style is determined through the number format settings in the system.

How to change numeral style in Windows

To change the numeral style, follow these steps:

Open the Control Panel in Windows.

The name in the English interface is Control Panel

After that, apply the changes and restart alameen ERP if needed.

Does changing the numeral style affect stored data?

No. This setting only affects how numbers are displayed and does not change the numeric values stored in the database.

For example, the following two values represent the same number:

12345

١٢٣٤٥

The only difference is in how the numbers are displayed.

Does this change affect other programs?

Changing these settings may affect other programs that rely on Windows number formatting, since the change is made at the operating system level, not within alameen ERP itself.

Therefore, it is best to choose the numeral style that suits your work environment and the programs you use on your device.
