We're facing a localization issue in Oracle BI Publisher 12.1 (on-premises) where numbers automatically convert to Arabic-Indic digits (٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩) when using Arabic locale, but we need them to display as Western numbers (0-9) while keeping other Arabic text elements.

Problem Details:

  • Using BI Publisher 12.1 with Online Layout Editor (no RTF/XSL templates)
  • Data source is SQL-based (Oracle Database)
  • Reports must maintain Arabic language for text but show Western numbers

We appreciate any guidance from those who have solved this before.
