Hi, 

Yes, there are Thai numerals.  Although I can read them, it doesn't make 
things convenient.  I mean, in daily life here we rarely see them.  These 
numerals are pretty much only used on formal, official documents like 
proclamations from the King.  Even native Thai speakers sometimes can't 
read them.  So to have them pop-up in the middle of while we are trying to 
use software, it's less than desirable.

I should say this isn't strictly a Mnemosyne issue -- this comes up about 
40% of time in pieces of software under Windows.  When you live in a place 
like Asia, you want the Windows "control panel" options set to the local 
area because it makes integrating with the local environment more 
seamless.... yet when you install software and choose "English", you want 
(and expect) English to be used throughout...not some mish-mash of two 
things.

I am sure someone at Microsoft thought this was a great idea to have 
localization support role down from Windows to application software... but 
situations like this one are, at worse, exasperating.
