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

local conversionTable = {
   ['জানুৱাৰী'] = 'January',
   ['ফেব্ৰুৱাৰী'] = 'February',
   ['মাৰ্চ'] = 'March',
   ['এপ্ৰিল'] = 'April',
   ['মে'] = 'May',
   ['জুন'] = 'June',
   ['জুলাই'] = 'July',
   ['আগষ্ট'] = 'August',
   ['ছেপ্টেম্বৰ'] = 'September',
   ['অক্টোবৰ'] = 'October',
   ['নৱেম্বৰ'] = 'November',
   ['ডিচেম্বৰ'] = 'December',
   ['০'] = '0',
   ['১'] = '1',
   ['২'] = '2',
   ['৩'] = '3',
   ['৪'] = '4',
   ['৫'] = '5',
   ['৬'] = '6',
   ['৭'] = '7',
   ['৮'] = '8',
   ['৯'] = '9',
}

-- 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 as, en in pairs(conversionTable) do -- This converts every string found in the table.
        s = mw.ustring.gsub(s, as, en)
    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:ConvertTime|main|<!-- your text here -->}}.
