So my scenario is basically this: If a user has an Arabic Locale, a date is formatted into this string: ١٩/١٠/٢٠١٢ ٣:٢١ م
The numerals are Arabic and the date is ordered/formatted a certain way according to the Arabic locale/region format. The problem is that some users might have a Locale of Arabic, but the Language set to English (because he/she might not be able to read Arabic).
Is there a way to change just the numerals to arabic, while preserving everything else in the formatter from the Locale? That is, format that date according to the locale/region format (preserving order) but to use English numerals rather than the Arabic numerals. I don't see any way that Apple has provided us with making such a change.
Thanks in advance!
