--- Comment #3 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> ---
I talked about it to Yuvi at Wikimania.

The problem is that the app uses Android's time formatting, and it apparently
doesn't support the dual for Hebrew, and possibly has problems in other
languages as well.

There's another problem that arises from using this library, which is that when
it has to use an actual date ("August 6"), the correct preposition is not used,
because it cannot be translated in the message.

The possible solutions are:
1. To separate it to two or more messages for different cases (with and without
human timestamps and maybe more).
2. To stop using human timestamps.
3. To develop Wikimedia's own human timestamps library.
4. Use JodaTime, although Yuvi doesn't know whether it is localized as well as
moment.js.
