Hi Laszlo, All

For Italian, from 1 to 10 there is a '$1' before the name of the number 
which is not correct.
Also, we need to check all variants, I noticed some missed letter 
(double l) in some ordinals

Are the ordinals generated automatically?

For Italian, the default format is ok.

For Italian, if we consider a simple sorting, we can use only one gender 
(male), but if we refer to all types, we need the two ones, male and female:

Book = Libro, male
Part = Parte, female
Chapter = Capitolo, male
Section = Sezione, female
Page = Pagina, female
Paragraph = Paragrafo, male

(Note: This is the standard and present translation. There was a 
discussion in our list concerning a different translation for the types 
above, not important here.)
