These are by far the best references I've seen to date. Thanks!
Very interesting that Ukrainian has a special rule for fractional
values vs. integers.
One more interesting case to note (it is not reflected in the CLDR
rules yet, we are in the midst of enhancing the rule syntax to
support this) is: For French, all real values of x for 0 <= x < 2
take the "one" form. So some decimal fractions in French (e.g. the
ones represented in English as 0.3, 1.3) take the "one" form while
others (e.g. 2.3, 3.3) take the "other" form.
Excellent. It will be a while before I actually have my text
translated, so I'll make sure to visit that reference later on. And,
as changes are made, would be a simple matter of modifying one spot in
code; the utility object that builds keys.
Thanks again,
