OK, here's an example. From Microsoft Windows XP. Every user has a "My
Documents" folder there. Now in English, you can see "Jane Doe's
Documents" for user Jane Doe, "Jack Daniels' Documents" for user Jack
Daniels etc.
Meanwhile in Lithuanian, to be gramatically correct, it cannot be
"Rimas Kudelis' dokumentai" or "Rimas' Kudelis' dokumentai" or "Rimas
Kudelis dokumentai" or anything like that. It has to be "Rimo Kudelio
dokumentai".
And your gender example would sound like this:
Gerb. p. Kudeli,
šis tekstas lokalizuotas
Jūs užsisakėte vieną prekę.
Name: Kudelis
gender: male
Items: 1
Language: Lietuvių
Now, do you think such DYNAMIC casing would be possible?
