your requirement is language converter or character encoding converter?

Thanks for your quick response.

To make myself clearer please find below what I intend to achieve:

For Example I have a variable named xAccount that fills in customer's account number from user input either in English or in Bengali. An account number 4005123456300 is shown as ৪০০৫১২৩৪৫৬৩০০ in Bengali since I am using Unicode. I would like to put this content to the variable xAccount as 4005123456300.

I used a function to convert as follows:

C#

public string Convert2English(string bString)
        {
            int i = 0;
            string j,k="";

            for (i = 0; i <= (bString.Length - 1); i++)
            {
                j = bString.Substring(i, 1);
                switch (j)
                {
                    case "০":
                        k = k + "0";
                        break;
                    case "১":
                        k = k + "1";
                        break;
                    case "২":
                        k = k + "2";
                        break;
                    case "৩":
                        k = k + "3";
                        break;
                    case "৪":
                        k = k + "4";
                        break;
                    case "৫":
                        k = k + "5";
                        break;
                    case "৬":
                        k = k + "6";
                        break;
                    case "৭":
                        k = k + "7";
                        break;
                    case "৮":
                        k = k + "8";
                        break;
                    case "৯":
                        k = k + "9";
                        break;
                    default:
                        k = k + "";
                        break;
                }               
            }
            return k;

        }

Thanks
