Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-counter-styles-3] Support automatically localized counters (#7959)

> Importantly, we also need a concrete use-case - is there a page that this would help you on, where you're currently working around it manually by varying the counter style?

I work on page internationalization on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki. For a given source page with a custom stylesheet (“templateStyles”), all translation pages use the same stylesheet. Since `inline-start` is not well supported by browser, MediaWiki uses CSSJanus to flip `left` into `right`. However we currently don’t have any “magical” workaround for `list-style-type` property.
On [that page (partially) translated in Hindi](https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oral_Culture_Transcription_Toolkit/Interview_Questions/hi&oldid=23984149#Section_1:_Local_Culture), I would expect `upper-alpha` markers to be readable by Hindi speakers, that is, even being decimals instead of letters (probably `devanagari`).
