To be honest, these examples in the link you posted make me skeptical about the suggested solution… how can we produce some code that produces “whatever is needed”, when there is no such thing as the ordinal form of a number in certain languages, and it can depend on gender, declension, and other things? I suspect the best we can do is to have one function for each word that we need an ordinal for – for instance, the words for “century” and “millennium” might have different genders in a language where the ordinal depends on the gender, so we would have separate functions for these ordinals (in languages where it doesn’t matter, most of these functions would then delegate to each other).
