Are there any C++ libraries that provide tools for composing English language sentences?

The best match I've found so far is https://github.com/caranatar/tracerz, which can help a lot, but it intended for use with random values, and I would have to handle some of the higher-level connections myself, like linking pronouns with pluralization, and handling past/present/future tenses on my own. I'm not afraid to do this, but I want to explore my options.

Maybe help with Zaimoni fork? But I can see how ancient cataclysm but bugfixed could be boring...

I would not be averse to a library that fully developed this. However, that definitely is "hard mode". I haven't looked around carefully. (Gettext is not an option for the Cataclysm family of games -- as a copyleft license, GPL is incompatible with all other licenses that impose material restrictions, such as Creative Commons Share-Alike.)
