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.
