%s days ago vs. ${time} ago

Post by qwertasdfg »

On the player's sites there appears ${time} ago to be used, even when ${time} is in days. In my opinion "%s days ago" should rather be used as in some languages "days" has to be translated differently in regards to the grammatical case

f.e. the german translation should be "vor %s Tagen" as it would show with "$%s days ago". Now it says "vor ${time} Tage" as "days" is correctly translated as "Tage" (correct in the nominative)


Or maybe can that problem be solved by changing the tranlation of "days" to "Tagen" (i.e. days in the dative case)?
But that should only be done if the string "days" isn't used elsewhere in some other context. Can you confirm the "days" string is only used for ${time} ago?
