> Russian plural forms for 100, 101, 102 etc. is different, as for 0, 1, 2.<br /><br />True.  The rule IIRC is that
exceptfor 11-14 and for collective numerals, declination follows the last digit.<br /><br />It would be possible to
generalizedeclination via a language-specific message-selector function, especially if the number of numerical
complementswere limited to 1.<br /><br />How awkward would it be to re-word the style of messages to avoid
declination? For example, the Russian equivalent of "X rows" could be something like "#rows -- X".<br /><br />David
