Ok

Just Try to put Your string and Numbers In formatted String and use this

something like this

<string name="welcome_messages">Hello, %1$s! You have %2$d new messages.</string>

and then

<resources xmlns:tools="schemas.android.com/tools"; tools:locale="en">

By default numbers are displayed in English only, unless you format the string, but it is not a good practice to use digits in English while using language that supports RTL specification. Please refer this: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/languages.html#FormatNumbers It seems that you are changing language from device setting, please try changing language within the app, changing language from device setting will display numbers in that language.
