WTH is there no last_changed we can use easy in templates

Like in mushroom template card or other ways I want to show some data with the last_changed data. But last changed shows just a timestamp but not the easy to read “2 minutes ago” and is not translated.

There is time_since which you can use


You can use the precision paramater in case you want more than one time fragment

There is also relative time plus you can use if you want more control over the output.

Nice, but then I have a problem with it only being available in English by default? My browser setting is a different language but it shows like “55 minutes”.

That’s one of the reasons I created Relative Time Plus (linked in my previous post). It allows translations to other languages

Ah I missed that, would be nice if that is added to core for others to see and use easier.
