Change part numbers to words in arabic

Question

In a similar manner shown in

Change chapter numbers to words in Arabic

How can I write "Part one" instead of "part 1" but in Arabic:

Replace the word "part" with "الجزء" since the word "القسم" Is not appropriate.

I was able to do this replacement using the command:

\gappto\captionsarabic{\renewcommand{\partname}{الجزء}}

HOwever, I do not know how to replace the number with its arabic translation written in letters

Here is an MWE:

\usepackage[a4paper,top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,margin=2.5cm,bindingoffset=0.5cm]{geometry}

\babelprovide[import=en,language=Default]{english}
\babelfont{rm}{Latin Modern Roman}

You might try with the fmtcount package, which uses .ldf files. As far as I know there's no .ldf file for arabic, but you could make one yourself. — Bernard, Apr 14 '22 at 09:08
@Bernard, the attached link, he managed to do something similar using a different approach — Silva, Apr 14 '22 at 09:20
The \part macro differs from \chapter macro, we might use an analogous approach, able to change the word "part" to "الجزء" by using
\gappto\captionsarabic{\renewcommand{\partname}{الجزء}}

However, I could not achieve literal numbering of parts and do not know how to set their appearance in the TOC — Silva, Apr 15 '22 at 19:13
you just need to replace "chapterby "part" so\renewcommand\thepart{\words{part}}with\words` as defined there — David Carlisle, Apr 15 '22 at 19:54

Here is the general mechanism provided by babel to set locale dependent counters and redefine strings. There are some simplifications, but note the ‘words’ counter appears in the section number (you may redefine it, however). Requires a relatively recent version.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[a4paper,top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,
            margin=2.5cm,bindingoffset=0.5cm]
           {geometry}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{6} 
\setcounter{tocdepth}{6}
\usepackage[english, bidi=basic, layout=lists.tabular]{babel}
\babelprovide[
  import,
  mapdigits,
  main, % Space separated list. Use braces in multi-word items:
  counters/words = الأول الثاني الثالث الرابع الخامس السادس السابع
     الثامن التاسع العاشر {الحادي عشر} {الثاني عشر}]{arabic}
\babelfont{rm}{Simplified Arabic} % The main font for the main lang
\babelfont[english]{rm}{Latin Modern Roman} % Secondary font/lang
\renewcommand{\thepart}{\localecounter{words}{part}}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\localecounter{words}{chapter}}
\setlocalecaption{arabic}{part}{الجزء}
\setlocalecaption{arabic}{chapter}{الباب}
\setlocalecaption{arabic}{appendix}{الملحق}
\begin{document}
\part{تمهيد}
\chapter{شكر وتقدير} 
\subsection{سيشسي}
\subsubsection{شسيسشسي}
\end{document}

The words counter appearing in section number is odd, is there a way to set it? — Silva, Apr 16 '22 at 19:43
The commands \setlocalecaption{arabic}{part}{الجزء} \setlocalecaption{arabic}{chapter}{الباب} \setlocalecaption{arabic}{appendix}{الملحق} Are useful, however, the numbering code won't be good enough for use, also will it cause issues in the table of contents? — Silva, Apr 16 '22 at 20:25
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{section}}. See, for example, https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/278299/how-to-change-the-numbering-of-section-and-subsection . The best way to redefine the TOC format is with a package: options are titletoc, tocloft and etoc – see https://ctan.org/topic/toc-etc . — Javier Bezos, Apr 17 '22 at 06:42
