Use persian footnotes inside latin environment of xepersian

footnotespersianxepersian

When I'm inside latin environment, I'm unable to change footnote mark from Arabic style to Persian(Arabic-Indic) style.

Here is the code I use:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}

%packages:
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{graphicx, float}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}

\usepackage{xepersian}
% fonts
\settextfont{HM FElmi}
\setlatintextfont{FreeSerif}
\defpersianfont\Bismillah[Scale=14]{A_Bismillah}
\setpersiansansfont[Scale=1]{HM FElmi}

\begin{document}
سلام
\footnote{
    در این جا مشکلی وجود ندارد
}
\vspace{\fill}
\begin{latin}
Translate
\RTLfootnote{ترجمه}
\end{latin}
\end{document}

And the result looks like this:

enter image description here

As you can see the second footnote mark is in Arabic style which is not desired. How can I change it to Persian style?

I think of some commands such as \roman{}, \arabic{} and so on, does any such command exists in XePersian package to get rid of this problem?

Best Answer

This is the correct behavior, and how footnotes (and footnote marks) should be typeset. If, however, for any reason you want the "2" to be Persian, you could write:

\begin{latin}
Translate\rl{\footnotemark}
\RTLfootnotetext{ترجمه}
\end{latin}

or simply:

\begin{latin}
Translate\rl{\RTLfootnote{ترجمه}}
\end{latin}

and if you want every footnote mark to be Persian, redefine @makefnmark

\makeatletter
\def\@makefnmark{\hbox{\rl{\@textsuperscript{\normalfont\@thefnmark}}}}%
\makeatother
