Description Olivier Hallot 2020-06-09 22:40:55 UTC

In English, we have first, second, third, ... which are invariant.

In some latin languages, these ordinals flex with gender

pt: 
Primeiro, Primeira
Segundo, Segunda
Terceiro, Terceira
Quarto, Quarta
Quinto, Quinta
(...)

We need a second ordinal numbering with female gender.

Comment 2 Clésio Pinheiro 2020-08-05 08:39:39 UTC

Other examples are:

Portuguese – male: primeiro, segundo, terceiro
Portuguese – female: primeira, segunda, terceira

Italian – male: primo, secondo, terzo
Italian – female: prima, seconda, terza

Spanish – male: primero, segundo, tercero
Spanish – female: primera, segunda, tercera

Writer has the numbers for male gender, but not for female.

Comment 3 Stanislav Horacek 2022-07-13 21:01:30 UTC

I agree that this would be very useful to have an option to choose which category of libnumbertext is used for numbering - i.e. not to restrict it to "ordinal", but also to use "ordinal-feminine" etc.

(A typical issue in Czech: chapters are often numbered by text, which is currently not possible as word for chapter is feminine.)

As this is related to bug #117171, trying to ask László here: is anything like this planned or do you have an idea how this should be implemented?

@Stanislav, Olivier & All: I'm going to check the issue. I plan to fix it for a long time, especially because for dates it's possible to add special NumberText conversions using NatNum12. (Used by the Hungarian module this way:
