-- First, define a table of text to search for, and what to convert it to.

local conversionTable = {
   ['January'] = 'জানুয়ারি',
   ['February'] = 'ফেব্রুয়ারি',
   ['March'] = 'মার্চ',
   ['April'] = 'এপ্রিল',
   ['May'] = 'মে',
   ['June'] = 'জুন',
   ['July'] = 'জুলাই',
   ['August'] = 'আগস্ট',
   ['September'] = 'সেপ্টেম্বর',
   ['October'] = 'অক্টোবর',
   ['November'] = 'নভেম্বর',
   ['December'] = 'ডিসেম্বর',
   ['0'] = '০',
   ['1'] = '১',
   ['2'] = '২',
   ['3'] = '৩',
   ['4'] = '৪',
   ['5'] = '৫',
   ['6'] = '৬',
   ['7'] = '৭',
   ['8'] = '৮',
   ['9'] = '৯',

-- Then we define a table to hold our function
local p = {}

-- Then we define a function that converts strings using conversionTable.
function p.main(frame)
    local s = frame.args[1] -- This gets the first positional argument.
    for en, bn in pairs(conversionTable) do -- This converts every string found in the table.
        s = mw.ustring.gsub(s, en, bn)
    end
    return s -- Get the result of the function.
end

return p -- Pass our table containing our function back to Lua.
-- Now we can call our function using {{#invoke:En2bndigit|main|<!-- your text here 

-->}}.
