You'll be getting Unicode text. Unless you plan to support non-
Arabic numbers it doesn't matter what language the user is using
because every character in Unicode has the same code point
independent of language. I'm pretty sure Mac OS X has no support
for converting non-Arabic numeric text into numbers, and Arabic are
the standard for use with computers, so language won't be an issue.
Actually, Arabic numbers aren't.
The original set of numbers used in the Arabic script system is
rotated by 90 degrees compared to what we call "arabic numerals".
There's also other differences, I think, since it's a written
("liquid"?) script while computers in "the West" generally use a
special printed script without character connections.
