Once we needed to represent numbers in Bangla, but couldn't find any suitable plugin. Also ruby 1.8 doesn't have build in support for Unicode (but it won't bother you in Rails unless you try to use built-in string manipulation methods). Anyway, we wrote some simple methods to convert ASCII digits back-and-forth with Bangla ones.

See my two blog posts regarding this-
Converting Bangla digits to ASCII ones
Show numeric digit in your language

you can also use this RoR plugin (with globalize plugin) to represent digits in any language

btw, you don't need this if you work only with fr/es/en, since all these uses same characterset to represent numbers.

thanks,
