The problem is a lot more complicated in that, because in addition to
gender agreement, in Russian and a lot of languages you need to use the
accusative and not the nominative in sentences like this ("post" happens to
have the same form here but "article" changes from статья to статью).
Moreover, whatever the set of forms you decide to allow to be defined in
the admin, there will always a language which needs another form. And one
language may need one form in a given sentence while another language needs
a different form in that sentence (say a genitive versus a dative), so you
need to allow the translator to say which form is going to be used in the
sentence, not the programmer. So it's quite a complicated problem if you
really want to allow high quality translations.
