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.
*** Bug 135434 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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.
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?

I plan to fix it for a long time, especially because for dates it's possible to add special NumberText conversions using NatNum12.
