Please keep numbers as is (keep the “same style”). That means written-out numbers in the source sentence should be translated into written-out numbers in the target language and Arabic numerals in the source sentence can be transferred as Arabic numerals to the target sentence. Please stick to this rule even if it might be unusual/rare to use written-out numbers instead of Arabic numerals in the target language.
