> Russian plural forms for 100, 101, 102 etc. is different, as for 0, 1, 2.

True. The rule IIRC is that except for 11-14 and for collective numerals, 
declination follows the last digit.

It would be possible to generalize declination via a language-specific 
message-selector function, especially if the number of numerical complements 
were limited to 1.

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".
