That would be the case for most languages.This is how it probably would be implemented, yes.
Does strftime handle this issue? if not, it would be worth-while passing the information on to that project as well, since it is so widely-used for time/date formatting. If you supply the specific info for Slavic languages, I'll chase up strftime if you like. :)
Would other languages benefit from that? If not, then I'll file the issue with a low priority, but I suppose this mechanism can be interesting at least for other Slavic languages.Other Slavic languages most certainly are requiring it too, not sure about whether there are non-Slavic languages.
Not a problem for my language, although we're currently having hideous difficulties with the Wikimedia default date templates. We imply the genitive by leading with the class identifier:
8th day of November 2006 = day 8, month 11, year 2006 (ngày 8, tháng 11, năm 2006)
and so far it doesn't handle that too well. Each time they "fix" it, they break something else. Someone should invent a "screams and bangs head on keyboard" smilie for issue trackers... ;)
