How would you handle declensions and conjugations? Create a new datatype for every context? For (a silly) example the online store list nicely what's in your basket in a sidebar like so:

In your cart:  * 3 dogs

and later, after you purchased they can say "You just bought 3 dogs", now, in english the "3 dogs" translation can be shared, but in some languages (e.g. Icelandic) they can not ("3 hundar" and "þú varst að kaupa 3 hunda"). The former is nominative and the latter is dative. But then again, creating a datatype and translating the same words again and again is really repetative.

Crazy idea: let's integrate Yesod with the Grammatical Framework [1]!  =)
