Description
I was checking out the package to use it in a project. I'd need to translate it to Romanian, however a summary look reveals that would be a challenging task. For example the ordinal seems to make a map of suffixes for numbers 0-9, but that doesn't work in Romanian:
- 0th
- to my knowledge doesn't exist, but maaaybe among friends you could say "al 0-lea" (m); maybe; no (f) though;
- 1st
- "prima" (f); "primul" (m);
- 2nd
- "a 2-a" (f); "al 2-lea" (m);
- 3rd
- "a 3-a" (f); "al 3-lea" (m);
- 23rd
- "a 23-a" (f); "al 23-lea" (m).
So to give it a chance to translate at least the possible strings, they would need to interpolate the value.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the ordinal formatter and its translation or interpolation path; done means Romanian ordinals can express the documented feminine and masculine forms, including values such as 23rd, without assuming only a 0–9 suffix map.
