Description

## Feature Request

While doing some tests for the Chinese, I noticed that some translations have Chinese and some Arabic numerals.

```
"second": "一秒",
"seconds": "{0}秒",
```

would be nice to equalise all of them to Chinese numerals, or provide an argument in the locale to be able to switch between Chinese or Arabic numerals?

Research direction

Locate the Chinese locale translations containing entries such as "second" and "seconds". First determine whether the project should standardize on Chinese numerals or support a locale option for Arabic numerals, since the request leaves both paths open. Done means the chosen behavior is consistent across the Chinese translations and covered by the relevant localization tests, if present.
