Description Nemo 2014-07-13 23:26:41 UTC
[[MediaWiki:Ago]] and friends generate untranslatable strings, according to Shirayuki's assessment of MF-Warburg's requirements for German at <https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/About_MediaWiki:Moodbar-feedback-response-summary/en>

«
* 2 months
* 2 months ago
* 2 days
* 2 days ago

[should become]

* 2 Monate
* vor 2 Monaten
* 2 Tage
* vor 2 Tagen

(the problem is that the output currently is "antwortete [replied] vor 2 Tage").»

Comment 1 Nemo 2014-07-14 09:29:19 UTC
Thanks Andre for editing the summary. To clarify, I had left the report in General/Unknown because this "feature" was added by a team developing some extension for their own purposes and it's not yet clear if the problem should be solved in core. Hopefully, no core interface is using this mechanism yet and i18n of core is not affected.
Comment 2 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2014-07-14 23:19:57 UTC
So basically this bug is requesting that these things be moved to using MWTimestamp::getHumanTimestamp?
