I understand your point, and most probably there are bigger problems in the
world than this... I just wish if I knew if this is really a problem for
arabic users, never using myself apps other than english.
I would suspect arabic users got used to that numbers look sometimes arabic
sometimes not, similarly like us hungarians got used to the partial
translations half the app remaining in english, or even worse.

Still, it could be a useful feature to add such a helper function somewhere
in Qt: even if ip addresses are not localisable, numbers are. And ip
addresses are multiple numbers. If you would have such, perhaps more
applications would represent them correctly.
