pols12 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-counter-styles-3] Support automatically localized counters == Similarly to `inline-start` keyword which may mean “right” or “left” depending on the language, I think we should support * `digits` as an alias of `decimal` on English pages, `arabic-indic` on Arabic pages, `armenian` on Armenian pages… * `lower-alpha` as an alias of `lower-latin` on English pages, `hiragana` on Japanese pages… * and maybe `bullet` as an alias of `disc` on English pages… (because I suppose the list bullet is also culture-dependant). With these generic keywords, the user agent should use the counter symbols which are the most appropriate given user language and preferences. Affected: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-counter-styles-3/#predefined-counters That would also extend and simplify the following [css-list-3 recommendation](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-lists-3/#list-item-counter): > UAs and host languages should ensure that the [list-item](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-lists-3/#valdef-counter-increment-list-item) counter values by default reflect the underlying numeric value dictated by host language semantics when setting up list item styling in their UA style sheet and presentational hint style mappings.
