title: Arabic numerals in swing.JTextField java
body: <p>Peace be upon you all.</p>
  
  <p>javas.swing.JTextField does not support <strong>numerals</strong> of other languages like arabic, hebrew, chinese on <strong>input</strong>. I have researched a lot on this but I couldnt find a solution. </p>
  
  <p>I really need functionality as my whole application is based on Javax.swing components. </p>
  
  <p>Need solution guys!!!</p>

      <p>Put a JTextField on a simple plain GUI. Go to the regional settings and select Arabic (saudia arabia) as locale and customize the 'digit substitution' as 'national' (System wide arabic numerals applied). Now go to the java app and type numbers in the textfield. The number would not be in arabic but in english. This is the problem..</p>
