declination of CLDR language names‏

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Hi,

CLDR has lists of language names. This is useful for displaying language
names to users in lists or menus, but less useful for displaying them in
full sentences. For example, it can work for displaying a sentence like
"This page is not available in $language" in English, where the language
name is unchanged by morphology, but it won't work for Russian and many
other languages where the language name must change according to
grammatical case (or something along these lines).

The above can also apply to currency names and so on.

For fun, I already started implementing a relevant automatic grammar
transformation for language names in Russian for my project (MediaWiki),
but before I dive too deeply into this, I wanted to ask: is there an
existing solution for this anywhere?

Thanks!
