Description

Duckling doesn't seem to recognize Arabic numbers especially in date formats, such as: ١/١/٢٠١٨

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Duckling currently handles numeric digits in date patterns. Look for the numeral recognition module (likely in Haskell source files under `Duckling/Numeral`). The issue requires adding support for Arabic Indic digits (٠ ٩) in addition to the existing ASCII digits. Check if there is a function that maps digit characters to numbers; if not, extend it. The change is localized to the numeral recognition logic.
