Babel date conjugation in Latvian #567

Hi. Does babel cover a use case for conjugating dates?

In english to specify a date during which some event will take place you use a the preposition on. In Latvian you would conjugate the month for example 2018. gada 29. marts would become 2018. gada 29. martā.

Oh, that's an interesting question! (My native Finnish has these sorts of strange conjugations and other tricks up its sleeve, too.)

Unfortunately it looks like the CLDR data for Latvian (lv) only has the regular (?) form "marts", and since that is the data Babel uses for date formatting, the answer is no :(
