how to localize the number of wordpress post views?

The problem is most probably, that you don’t actually call the filter. WordPress does this not automatically for you.

If you want to create a custom filter you have to manually call apply_filters, so that the added filters get executed:

function the_views($postID){
    $count_key = 'views';
    $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
    if($count==''){
        delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
        add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0');
        $count = 0;
    }

    // use apply_filters to call the filter
    return sprintf($count == 0 ? '%s View' : '%s বার', 
        apply_filters('the_views', $count));

    // better alternative: use the WordPress translation API:
    //return sprintf(_n('%s View', '%s Views', $count), 
        //apply_filters('the_views', $count));
}

I have modified the code a bit so the digit “0” gets also translated/converted. I have also added a suggestion at the end to use the WP translation API. There’s a bit more effort required to translate it that way but it would bring some benefits (you could translate it to other languages without code-changes and the result would be proper pluralized).
