Date in Friulian and Gaelic requires suffixes for numbers 1, 2, and 3

I'm the friulian coordinator for translating gnome. As said in the mailing list: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2016-June/msg00038.html with gnome 3.20 I modified the dates in gnome as best as I could, but the right form of the date is this: al 1ⁿ di jugn dal 2016 literally translated: at the(singular) 1ˢᵗ of June of the 2016 ai 25 di jugn dal 2016 literally translated: at the(plural) 25 of June of the 2016 at the day of today it seems impossible to implement this kind of writing, for 2 reasons: different enumeration (ordinal number for the first day, and cardinal for others) different singular/plural form (at the)
This should be supported by strftime() but it's not. I was going to file a bug report but I've found a similar one so I've just commented: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10547
This fix is also needed for my locale (Scottish Gaelic) and would follow the same pattern as English: 1 = 1d 2 = 2na 3 = 3s Note that the CLDR does not support coding this either, so the CLDR data isn't 100% reliable here.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
