Are rails-i18n and homegrown translation strings the only options for
formatting dates? On the client side, JavaScript has [a robust API for
formatting relative
dates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/RelativeTimeFormat)
according to a given locale. It’s powered by CLDR, which is the industry
standard for this sort of thing. If we can find a Rails library that pulls data
from CLDR, then we don’t need to burden translators with every permutation that
their language doesn’t need. Or we could leave it as an absolute timestamp and
rely on JavaScript to relativize it on the fly.
