I think supporting other languages would be very nice!

This spec is absolutely necessary.

Is this work of interest to cooklang? I'm interested in adding cooklang as an import/export language for a recipe converter I'm building, but I'd need to know that locale is supported before it'd be worthwhile me putting in the work to make it convertible.

Yes, it is. It will be eventually in a spec because a lot of users use non-English language. But I can't say when it's going to be done. I wrote you a letter offering to sync in it

Current spec does not respect words declensions. Because of it, ingredients and stuff lists look a much less pretty. For example, let's say:

Просеять и засыпать в #миску @муку{600%г} -- Sift the flour and pour it into a bowl

We will see smth like:

Ingredients:
  * муку: 600 г -- but it shoult be `мука`

Cookware:
  * миску -- but it should be `миска`

I can't suggest off the top of my head how this can be solved cheaply, without complicating the language syntax. However, in its current form, for people who like order (and these are the people who are ready to develop their own recipe book), this may be a thorn in the side.
