Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94218
Switching display of numerals to Hindi has no effect in spreadsheet

Open new spreadsheet and enter some numbers. Now switch the displaying of numerals to Hindi (Tools - options - language settings - Complex text Layout - Numerals). The numbers are still shown in arabic. If you doubleclick the cell the number is shown in hindi.
Not a defect. So far it wasn't a requirement for Calc to follow that setting, which was mainly introduced for text documents to display numerical text. In Calc you can always use number formats with the [NatNum1] modifier for different locales. Implementation to override non-NatNum# Arabic digits with something different would be a new feature.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
