[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T95553: Full stop in messages such as Wikibase-time-precision-century is incorrect in English

TheDJ added a comment.

PLURAL simply can not do this

The problem is that this is an ordinal, and we have no tooling for that in our translations. PHP has:

$locale = 'en_US';
$nf = new NumberFormatter($locale, NumberFormatter::ORDINAL);
echo $nf->format($number);

Not sure if there are languages that have ordinals, that don't use ordinals for century notation..... if not, then it might be good enough to use this straight from php specifically for the date messages that require this..
