Description

You have options to change languages. However, while creating the Bengali version of the timeline, I see that there is no way to show numerals in a different language. All languages use the Arabic numerical notations. Could you please add this functionality? Because the numerals in all Indian languages have quite different notations than the Anglo-Arabic ones. For example the notations for numbers 0 to 9 in Bengali are: ০ ১ ২ ৩ ৪ ৫ ৬ ৭ ৮ ৯

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing language-selection and timeline number-rendering paths, then determine how Bengali and other language-specific numerals should be configured; done means timeline numerals can use the selected language's notation instead of always using Arabic numerals.
