Good morning !
On the welcome page date of publication of a comment currently shows always "vor 4 Tage"
the correct version is :
vor 1 Tag
vor 2 Tagen (and everything else above 1)
I always appreciate these small details being exact
Thanks a lot for this wonderfull playground !

I changed the translation for the string used there. I hope it was used only for the same context, or it may break something somewhere else...

Hello Een,
sorry to let you know that the same error is back again on the same page (don't know for how long, I haven't be in for a little while)...
May be you can set it right again ?
Thanks and a nice week-end !

I looked more closely, and it's actually not just a translation but a programming issue. Time elapsed is first expressed in minutes, hour or seconds, then the preposition 'ago' is added. This works fine in English, but for languages where the preposition implies a grammatical case with an inflected form, it doesn't. So this code would have to be rewritten in a more generic way to allow for proper translation. Internationalization is tricky. I have noted this, but cannot make it a priority at this time.

This has been rewritten for next release (probably early January 2022)
