I think you are confused about what “Arabic numbers” are. Usually that term refers to the numbers we use every day, the ones you called “English numbers”. Of course, there ARE different-looking numbers in the Arabic language itself, but I don't think you mean that, do you?

If you do, then no, the only number systems Scratch recognizes are the standard decimal and hexadecimal number systems. ( I don't know if the pick random block will do hex. Probably not.)

The Arabic numeral system is the same numeric system used in English (and many, if not most, other languages). Your project should already show in Arabic numbers, whether or not the website is in English or Arabic.

I mean this types of numbers.

I solve that problem by using list and put the numbers as string then sort numbers in order. ( at the end it is a problem solving)
I was very happy till I find out that when I upload the game to website , the numbers change to English !!

any suggestion

It probably has something to do with when you choose what language you want Scratch to be in.

The solution is to upload the desired numerals as images (the image you linked to would be a good source image), doing it either as 10 sprites or as 10 costumes of one sprite. Then in your project convert the standard numerals to their appropriate images for displaying them on the screen. In other words, it's like a text engine and you are creating a new font.
