[SFCalendar] Issue: Cannot Force Western Digits in SfCalendar When App Locale is Arabic

[h1amza]

Bug description

When my app's locale is set to Arabic (e.g. Locale('ar', 'MA')), the SfCalendar widget displays all numbers (dates, times, week numbers) using Arabic-Indic digits (e.g. ١,٢,٣).
I want to display all numbers in Western (English) digits (0-9) only in the calendar, while keeping the rest of my app in Arabic.

Steps to reproduce

1- Set your app's locale to Arabic (e.g. Locale('ar', 'MA')).
2- Wrap SfCalendar with Localizations.override(locale: Locale('ar', 'MA')).
3- Observe that all numbers in the calendar are still Arabic-Indic digits.

Code sample

MaterialApp(
locale: Locale('ar', 'MA'),
home: Scaffold(
body: Localizations.override(
context: context,
locale: Locale('ar','MA'),
child: SfCalendar(
view: CalendarView.week,
timeSlotViewSettings: TimeSlotViewSettings(
timeFormat: 'HH:mm',
),
),
),
),
);

Hi @h1amza,

You can refer to our Knowledge Base (KB) article that explains how to override the localizations in SfCalendar to display the digits instead of Arabic words for numbers in the calendar UI. We have shared the KB documentation for your reference.

KB link: https://support.syncfusion.com/kb/article/11052/how-to-override-the-material-app-locale-and-set-english-language-for-flutter-calendar

However, a GitHub sample reference is attached in the KB documentation. You can refer to the sample and customize it based on your requirements.

If you have any further queries, please get back to us. We are always happy to assist you.

Thank you for your reply @Mugunthan-Ramalingam but in CalendarView.week and CalendarView.day, the hour/time labels still display Arabic-Indic digits (١٢) instead of Western digits (12).

could you guide me on how to enforce Western digits (1, 2, 3) in these views?

Appreciate your help,
