I was looking for a way to transliterate(translate) English numbers to Persian numbers in Go. Such functionality is usually found in programming languages, but I wasn't expecting too much from Go.

It's very easy to do in Raku:

say 567.trans: '0'..'9' => '۰'..'۹'
=output ۵۶۷␤

say TR/0..9/۰..۹/ given 567
=output ۵۶۷␤

For Go I found xstrings module which has a Translate function. But the solution I came up with was using NewReplacer function from Go's internal strings module:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.NewReplacer(`0`, `۰`, `1`, `۱`, `2`, `۲`, `3`, `۳`, `4`, `۴`, `5`, `۵`, `6`, `۶`, `7`, `۷`, `8`, `۸`, `9`, `۹`).Replace(`567`))
}
