Well, can we see what is the extent of the problem? Russian, Polish, possibly all of the Slavian languages, Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian? One could also list all the grammatical cases, number them and make a nota= tion in the format specifiers, but if the already implemented and specified solution solves the problem for all languages with this problem, then an extended solution could be overkill.
